The majority voted in favour of disagreeing with the amendment below, introduced by Indi MP Helen Haines (Independent). This means the amendment was unsuccessful.

The purpose of these amendments is simple: to insert one more bullet point in section 7(1)(a) to ensure the National Skills Commission does not leave regional Australians behind.

We must be certain that this includes deliberately regional Australian data.
