Description
<p class="speaker">Sue Lines</p><p>I advise senators that I have a number of second reading amendments. I'm going to call Senator Rice, who foreshadowed a second reading amendment.</p>-
- The majority voted against an [amendment](https://www.openaustralia.org.au/senate/?gid=2022-09-27.153.1) to the usual second reading motion, which is "*that the bill be read a second time*". To read a bill a [second time](https://peo.gov.au/understand-our-parliament/how-parliament-works/bills-and-laws/making-a-law-in-the-australian-parliament/) is to agree with its main idea.
- The amendment was introduced by Victorian Senator [Janet Rice](https://theyvoteforyou.org.au/people/senate/victoria/janet_rice) (Greens).
