Paid Parental Leave Amendment (Improvements for Families and Gender Equality) Bill 2022 - in Committee - Extend parental leave
Not passed by a modest majority
No rebellions 52% attendance
Division last edited 10th Mar 2023 by mackay staff
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.
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".
Nobody rebelled against their party.
