16th Jun 2023, 3:46 PM – Senate Appropriation Bill (No. 3) 2022-2023 and two others - Second Reading - Condemn
Summary
EditThe majority voted against adding the text below to the usual second reading motion, which is "that the bills be read a second time". To read the bills a second time is to agree with the bills' main idea. The motion was introduced by WA Senator Dorinda Cox (Greens).
Amendment text
At the end of the motion, add ", but the Senate notes that Labor's second Budget:
(a) gives a $24.85 a day tax cut to politicians and billionaires, but only $2.85 a day to jobseekers;
(b) gives $16.8 billion over the forward estimates in handouts to wealthy property moguls, but no new money for direct investment in new social and affordable housing;
(c) includes $41 billion over the forward estimates in fossil fuel subsidies, which is more than all the investment in Australia becoming a renewable energy superpower; and
(d) is a betrayal of the people who were promised that no one would be left behind".
