Summary

Edit

The majority voted against an amendment to the usual second reading motion, which is "that the bills be read for a second time" (parliamentary jargon for agreeing with the main idea of the bills). This means the amendment was unsuccessful.

Amendment text

Omit all words after "That", substitute "the bill be withdrawn and the Senate calls on the Government to divert the full funding amount to a national electric vehicle strategy that includes:

(a) clear consumer incentives to ensure rapid electric vehicle uptake; and

(b) public investment in a national fast charging infrastructure network.

Votes Not passed by a modest majority

Nobody rebelled against their party.
