Edit

The majority voted against a motion that was introduced in the name of Victorian Senator Jess Walsh, which means it failed.

Motion text

GENERAL BUSINESS NOTICE OF MOTION NO. 1140

That the Senate—

(a) notes:

(i) the Morrison Government's failure to keep Victorians safe because of its disastrous vaccine roll out and failure to build fit for purpose quarantine facilities,

(ii) that vulnerable aged care residents and workers have therefore been put in harm's way by the Federal Government, and

(iii) that as Victorians faced new COVID-19 outbreaks due to a South Australian hotel quarantine breach the Minister for Senior Australians and Aged Care Services claimed 'a very positive record across the board with respect to maintaining a safe border for Australia'; and

(b) calls on the Federal Government to:

(i) build dedicated quarantine facilities in every state and territory, and

(ii) complete the vaccine roll out.

Votes Not passed by a small majority
