Summary

Edit

The majority voted against an amendment to the usual second reading motion, which is "that the bill be read for a second time" - parliamentary jargon for agreeing with the main idea of the bill. Because this vote failed, the usual second reading motion will remain unchanged.

Amendment text

At the end of the motion, add ", but the Senate condemns the Government for failing many of Australia's 2.6 million carers during the pandemic".

Votes Not passed by a small majority

Nobody rebelled against their party.
