Military Rehabilitation and Compensation Amendment (Veterans' Healthcare Without Caps) Bill 2026

Jargon Explainer: This motion changes when business is dealt with rather than deciding it. It can move items up or down the day's agenda, postpone them, adjourn a debate so it resumes at a later sitting, or set when something, such as amendments from the other chamber, will be considered. It decides what gets discussed and when, not what the parliament decides about it.

At 4:27 PM, a modest majority voted for a procedural motion introduced by Andrew Leigh MP (Australian Labor Party) to rearrange the business of the House of Representatives ("That the second reading be made an order of the day for the next sitting."), which means it was successful.

Nobody voted against their party on this occasion.
