What was decided

The majority of the Senate voted not to overturn the regulations made for the Act which created the welfare debit card trial. This means that the welfare debit card trial will continue as planned.

In parliamentary jargon, the majority voted against a disallowance of the <i>Social Security (Administration) (Trial Area – Ceduna and Surrounding Region) Determination 2015</i>. A disallowance is where either house of Parliament can veto delegated legislation (which is legislation created by the executive, not by Parliament).
