Summary

Edit

The majority voted against amendments (1) to (10) on sheet 1832 moved by South Australian Senator Anne Ruston (Liberal), which means it failed.

What does the amendment do?

Senator Ruston explained that:

... This pay clerk function of the PPL scheme is something we have long supported so as to remove the unnecessary red tape that's associated with the administration of this really important initiative that has got the bipartisan, or the multipartisan, support of this place. We certainly believe that small businesses and stakeholders and industry groups generally don't support the employer role in the administration of PPL payments because it adds a burden to what is already a very onerous life as a small business operator in this country.

Votes Not passed by a small majority

Nobody rebelled against their party.
