Summary

Edit

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

Amendment text

At the end of the motion, add ", but the Senate is of the opinion that the funds required to establish and maintain the reinsurance pool should be derived from taxation on entities extracting and combusting fossil fuels".

Votes Not passed by a modest majority

Nobody rebelled against their party.
