- The majority voted against a [motion](https://www.openaustralia.org.au/senate/?gid=2024-08-14.12.4) to agree with the main idea of the bill, which means it failed. In parliamentary jargon, they voted against reading the bill for a second time. This was a private member's bill sponsored by Queensland Senator [Pauline Hanson](https://theyvoteforyou.org.au/people/senate/queensland/pauline_hanson) (One Nation).
- ### What does the bill do?

- > *Prohibits discrimination based on a person's COVID-19 vaccination status by the Commonwealth, state and territory governments, statutory authorities, local governments, and private enterprises.*
