5th Dec 2023, 9:03 PM – Senate Economic Inclusion Advisory Committee Bill 2023 - Second Reading - Appointment
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 it failed.
Amendment text
At the end of the motion, add ", but the Senate calls on the Government to ensure that membership of the permanent Economic Inclusion Advisory Committee must include people with direct contemporary experience of poverty and sufficient representation of people most impacted by economic disadvantage including First Nations people, disabled people, women, and carers".
Votes Not passed by a modest majority
