Description
<p class="speaker">James McGrath</p><p>The question is that the bill be read a second time.</p><p></p><p></p> -
- The majority voted in favour of a [motion](https://www.openaustralia.org.au/senate/?gid=2021-11-22.176.1) to agree with the main idea of [the bill](https://www.aph.gov.au/Parliamentary_Business/Bills_Legislation/Bills_Search_Results/Result?bId=r6593). In parliamentary jargon, they voted to read the bill [for a second time](https://www.peo.gov.au/understand-our-parliament/how-parliament-works/bills-and-laws/making-a-law-in-the-australian-parliament/). This means that they can now consider it in greater detail.
- ### What is the bill's main idea?
- According to the [bills digest](https://www.aph.gov.au/Parliamentary_Business/Bills_Legislation/bd/bd2021a/21bd071):
- > *The purpose of the Bill is to amend the Criminal Code Act 1995 (the Criminal Code) to introduce extended supervision orders (ESOs), which may be imposed on terrorist offenders released into the community if a court is satisfied that the individual poses an unacceptable risk of committing certain serious terrorism offences. It also expands monitoring and surveillance powers.*
