Summary

Edit

The majority voted against a request for an amendment introduced by West Australian Senator Dorinda Cox (Greens), which means it failed.

Motion text

(1) Page 6 (after line 1), at the end of Part 2, add:

9A Beetaloo Basin Drilling Program

No amount appropriated by this Act is to be spent on the Beetaloo Basin Drilling Program referred to on page 41 of the Portfolio Budget Statements 2022-23 for the Industry, Science and Resources Portfolio, which was tabled in both Houses of the Parliament on 25 October 2022.

Statement pursuant to the order of the Senate of 26 June 2000

The amendment is framed as a request because it is to a bill which appropriates moneys for the ordinary annual services of the government.

Statement by the Clerk of the Senate pursuant to the order of the Senate of 26 June 2000

As this is a bill appropriating moneys for the ordinary annual services of government within the meaning of section 53 of the Constitution, any Senate amendments to the bill must be moved as requests. This is in accordance with the precedents of the Senate.

Votes Not passed by a modest majority
