Summary
EditThe majority voted in favour of a motion to agree with the main idea of the bill (technically known as giving the bill a second reading). This means our senators can now consider it in greater detail.
What is the bill's main idea?
According to the bill homepage, the bill will:
clarify the Attorney-General’s duty to make, or refuse to make, a parole order after the non-parole period has ended; [...] and enhance import controls on substances that are commonly used as illicit drugs and precursors but which also have legitimate uses in industry (dual-use substances). [It also] validates things done in reliance on certain authorisations or determinations by the Australian Criminal Intelligence Commission Board.
