Summary
EditThe majority voted against an amendment introduced by ACT Senator Katy Gallagher (Labor), which means it failed. The amendment would have added the text below to the usual second reading motion that the bill be read a second time (parliamentary jargon for agreeing with the main idea of the bill).
Motion text
At the end of the motion, add ", but the Senate:
(a) notes that the Government's measures in Schedule 2 of the bill would strip shareholders of their rights to be adequately informed, damage Australia's corporate governance regime, and allow company directors to get away with failing to disclose important information; and
(b) further notes these measures could damage Australian investment and hurt Australian investors and retirees".
Votes Not passed by a small majority
