Not passed by a small majority
No rebellions 43% attendance
17th Nov 2023, 11:00 AM – Senate Disability Services and Inclusion Bill 2023 and another - Second Reading - Minister for Disability Inclusion and funding
Summary
EditThe majority voted against an amendment to the usual second reading motion, which is "that the bill be read a second time" (parliamentary jargon for agreeing with the main idea of the bill). This means the text of the usual motion will remain unchanged. It was introduced by West Australian Senator Jordon Steele-John (Greens).
Motion text
At the end of the motion, add ", but the Senate:
(a) acknowledges that:
(i) the Royal Commission into Violence, Abuse, Neglect and Exploitation of People with Disability recommended that a Minister for Disability Inclusion should be appointed, and
(ii) that disability ministers have been appointed by previous governments; and
(b) calls on the Government to:
(i) appoint a Minister for Disability Inclusion in line with the Royal Commission's recommendation, and
(ii) provide ongoing and needs-based funding for Disability Representative Organisations, other disability organisations and advocacy services".
