Summary

Edit

The majority voted against the motion, which means it failed.

Motion text

That, in the opinion of the Senate, the following is a matter of urgency:

The need for Morrison-Joyce Government to stop blaming First Nations Australians and instead take responsibility for its bungled vaccine rollout, the dangerous situation in Western New South Wales and its failure to prepare and protect First Nations communities across Australia from the spread of COVID, including a failure to properly communicate and ensure access to health facilities, food security, adequate housing and isolation places.

Votes Not passed by a small majority

Nobody rebelled against their party.
