Title

  • Bills — Coag Reform Fund Amendment (No Electric Vehicle Taxes) Bill 2020; Second Reading
  • COAG Reform Fund Amendment (No Electric Vehicle Taxes) Bill 2020 - Second Reading - Agree with bill's main idea

Description

  • <p class="speaker">Scott Ryan</p>
  • <p>The question is that the bill be read a second time.</p>
  • The majority voted against a [motion](https://www.openaustralia.org.au/senate/?gid=2021-06-21.15.1) to read the bill for a [second time](https://peo.gov.au/understand-our-parliament/how-parliament-works/bills-and-laws/making-a-law-in-the-australian-parliament/), which is parliamentary jargon for agreeing with the main idea of the bill. Because this vote was unsuccessful, the bill won't be considered any further in parliament.
  • ### What is the bill's main idea?
  • According to the [bill homepage](https://parlinfo.aph.gov.au/parlInfo/search/display/display.w3p;query=Id:legislation/billhome/s1287), the bill was introduced:
  • > *to establish a new condition on financial assistance provided by the Commonwealth government to neutralise the revenue effect of taxes and charges imposed by states and territories on the purchase and use of electric vehicles*
