1 rebellion 87% attendance
8th Sep 2022, 10:00 AM – Senate Climate Change Bill 2022, Climate Change (Consequential Amendments) Bill 2022 - Second Reading - Acknowledge need to end fossil fuels
Summary
EditThe majority voted against an amendment to the usual second reading motion, "that the bills be read a second time." To read a bill a second time is to agree with its main idea. Because this vote failed, the original motion will remain unchanged.
This amendment as introduced by NSW Senator David Shoebridge (Greens).
Motion text
At the end of the motion, add ", but the Senate:
(a) notes that in the time between this bill passing the House and being debated by the Senate, the Government has opened up 46,758 square kilometres of ocean acreages for new oil and gas exploration; and
(b) acknowledges the advice of the United Nations Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change and the International Energy Agency, that to meet the Government's own target of net zero by 2050, no new coal, oil or gas infrastructure can be built."
