Title
Description
-
- The majority voted against an [amendment](https://www.openaustralia.org.au/senate/?gid=2022-12-15.30.1) that would have added the words below to the usual second reading motion, which is "*That this bill be now read a second time*" - parliamentary jargon for agreeing with the main idea of the bill. It was introduced by Tasmanian Senator [Nick McKim](https://theyvoteforyou.org.au/people/senate/tasmania/nick_mckim) (Greens).
- #### A rebel in Labor?
- At the time of writing this, parliamentary data shows that South Australian [Penny Wong](https://theyvoteforyou.org.au/people/senate/sa/penny_wong) (Labor) crossed the floor to vote "Yes" against the rest of the Labor Party. As Labor Party senators don't tend to cross the floor, it is very unlikely Senator Wong actually rebelled. This is probably an error in the original data set.
