Summary

Edit

The majority voted against a second reading amendment introduced by Queensland Senator Larissa Waters (Greens), which means it failed. It would have amended the usual second reading motion "that the bill be read a second time" with the text below.

Amendment text

At the end of the motion, add ", but the Senate:

(a) acknowledges:

(i) the persistent gender superannuation gap that sees women retire with significantly less in retirement funds than men, and

(ii) that superannuation is paid on leave entitlements other than parental leave; and

(b) calls on the Government to address this inequity and apply the superannuation guarantee to paid parental leave entitlements".

Votes Not passed by a modest majority

Nobody rebelled against their party.
