Description
<p class="speaker">Sue Lines</p><p>No amendments have been circulated. Does any senator require that the bill be considered in Committee of the Whole? No? I call the minister.</p> <p class="speaker">Murray Watt</p><p>I move:</p><p class="italic">That the bill be read a third time.</p> <p class="speaker">Andrew McLachlan</p><p>The question before the Senate is that the bill now be read a third time.</p><p></p> -
- The majority voted in favour of a [motion](https://www.openaustralia.org.au/senate/?id=2023-11-17.4.2) to agree with passing the bill in the Senate (technically known as giving the bill a third reading). Since the bill was already passed in the House of Representative, the bill will now become law.
- ### What is the bill's main idea?
- According to the [bill homepage](https://parlinfo.aph.gov.au/parlInfo/search/display/display.w3p;query=Id:legislation/billhome/r7108), 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.*
