Title
Bills — Crimes and Other Legislation Amendment (Omnibus No. 1) Bill 2024; Second Reading- Crimes and Other Legislation Amendment (Omnibus No. 1) Bill 2024 - Second Reading - Human rights concerns
Description
<p class="speaker">Deborah O'Neill</p><p>Senator Thorpe, I understand you foreshadowed in the second reading debate that you were moving an amendment. Now is the moment at which you might do that if you still wish to proceed that way.</p>-
- The majority voted against an [amendment](https://www.openaustralia.org.au/senate/?id=2024-10-10.42.2) 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 usual motion will remain unchanged. The amendment was introduced by Victorian Senator [Lidia Thorpe](https://theyvoteforyou.org.au/people/senate/victoria/lidia_thorpe) (Independent).
