What was decided

The majority voted against opposition amendments on sheets 3738, 3739, 3741, 3742, and 3746, which means they were unsuccessful. These amendments were on the subject of:

  • introducing a review of the amendments' operation;
  • restricting emergency applications to national liquid fuel emergencies;
  • terms included in time‑sensitive road transport contractual chain orders;
  • repeal of amendments on 31 March 2027;
  • requirement to conduct consultation; and
  • terms for time‑sensitive road transport contractual chain orders.

Following the vote, ACT Senator David Pocock (Independent) asked that his opposition to sheets 3741 (about the repeal of amendments on 31 March 2027) be recorded and that WA Senator Fatima Payman's (Australia's Voice) support for sheets 3738 (about a review of operation of amendments) and 3742 (about a requirement to conduct consultation) be recorded.
