20th Jun 2023, 6:17 PM – Senate Treasury Laws Amendment (2022 Measures No. 4) Bill 2022 - in Committee - Non-registered training providers

The majority voted against amendments (1) to (5), introduced by NSW Senator Andrew Bragg (Liberal), which means they were not successful. The amendments would have removed the requirement that training must be delivered by a registered provider to be eligible for the bonus deduction (up to a maximum of $20,000).

Amendment text
