5th Dec 2023, 9:39 PM – Senate Treasury Laws Amendment (Making Multinationals Pay Their Fair Share—Integrity and Transparency) Bill 2023 - Second Reading - Reference to Economics Legislation Committee
Summary
EditThe majority voted in favour of 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 that the Government amendment RU100 would be referred to the Economics Legislation Committee for inquiry and report.
Amendment text
