Description
<p class="speaker">Jess Walsh</p><p>I understand that we need to vote on Senator McKim's urgency motion and that that needs to occur for reasons that precede my presence in the chair. I will now put the question that the motion moved by Senator McKim be agreed to.</p>-
- The majority voted against a [motion](https://www.openaustralia.org.au/senate/?id=2023-03-08.153.2):
- > *That, in the opinion of the Senate, the following is a matter of urgency:*
- >
- > *That women in Australia deserve genuine progress on women's safety, health and economic security, including:*
- >
- >> *the country*
- >
- > *all of which could be funded with $254 billion in savings from scrapping the Stage 3 tax cuts, which mostly benefit rich men.*
- Motions like these don't make any legal changes on their own, but they can be politically influential because - when successful - they represent the will of the Senate majority.
