Description

  • <p class="speaker">Scott Ryan</p>
  • <p>I will now deal with amendments circulated by the Australian Greens, and I'll deal with these collectively, because I haven't received any different amendments circulated by the Australian Greens. I'm about to get a request to put some separately. Senator Gallagher?</p>
  • <p class="speaker">Katy Gallagher</p>
  • The majority voted against [amendments](https://www.openaustralia.org.au/senate/?gid=2021-06-22.287.3) introduced by the Australian Greens, which means they failed.

  • <p>I ask that the questions on Greens amendments on sheets 1276 and 1235 be put separately from amendments on sheets 1275 and 1299, to reflect different voting intentions on these amendments.</p>
  • <p class="speaker">Scott Ryan</p>
  • <p>Okay, so I will put them in two groups. The first question is that the amendments on sheet 1235 circulated by the Australian Greens be agreed to.</p>
