Fair Work Amendment (Supporting Australia's Jobs and Economic Recovery) Bill 2020 - Second Reading - Agree with bill's main idea
Passed by a small majority
No rebellions 83% attendance
18th Mar 2021, 1:20 PM – Senate Fair Work Amendment (Supporting Australia's Jobs and Economic Recovery) Bill 2021 - in Committee - 'Value of the benefit’ method
Summary
EditThe same number of senators voted for and against a motion that:
subsection 546(3A) in item 4 and subsection 548D(7) in item 10 of schedule 5 stand as printed
In other words, the same number of senators voted for and against those provisions remaining as they are. Because a majority was not reached, the motion failed and those provisions will be removed from the bill.
According to the bills digest:
Proposed subsection 546(3A) provides that any penalty based on the new ‘value of the benefit’ method outlined above may only be payable to the Commonwealth. The Explanatory Memorandum contains no rationale as to why this is the case.
