Summary

Edit

The majority voted in favour of an amendment to a motion that calls for a committee inquiry into two pieces of proposed legislation (that is, bills). Because this vote was successful, these two bills will be sent to a committee for inquiry.

"and, in respect of the Social Security Amendment (Improved Child to Adult Transfer for Carer Payment and Carer Allowance) Bill 2022, contingent upon introduction in the House of Representatives, the provisions of the bill be referred immediately to the Community Affairs Legislation Committee for inquiry and report by 24 March 2022".
