Title
Bills — Competition and Consumer Amendment (Make Price Gouging Illegal) Bill 2024; Second Reading- Competition and Consumer Amendment (Make Price Gouging Illegal) Bill 2024 - Second Reading - Refer to committee
Description
<p class="speaker">Andrew Bragg</p><p>The question now is that the amendment moved by Senator Walsh be agreed to.</p><p></p><p></p> -
- The majority voted against an [amendment](https://www.openaustralia.org.au/senate/?gid=2024-10-09.7.1) introduced by Victorian Senator [Jess Walsh](https://theyvoteforyou.org.au/people/senate/victoria/jess_walsh) (Labor), which means it failed. The amendment would have changed the wording of 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).
- ### Amendment text
- > *Omit all words after "That", substitute "the bill be referred to the Economics Legislation Committee for inquiry and report by 28 March 2025".*
- #### No rebellion
- West Australian Senator [Fatima Payman](https://theyvoteforyou.org.au/people/senate/wa/fatima_payman) (Independent) is currently listed as a rebel voter against the Labor Party, but this is inaccurate because she is no longer part of the Labor Party.
