Summary

Edit

The majority voted against a motion moved by Tasmanian Senator Nick McKim (Greens), which means it failed.

Motion text

Pursuant to standing order 75, I give notice that today the Australian Greens propose to move "That, in the opinion of the Senate, the following is a matter of urgency:

Given the RBA's admission that between half and three-quarters of the increase in inflation is a result of supply shocks and that monetary policy can do very little to offset supply shocks, the RBA should not raise interest rates and the government must act to address inflation and the cost of living crisis, including by introducing a national freeze on rents".

Votes Not passed by a modest majority

Nobody rebelled against their party.
