What was decided
The majority voted in favour of amendments introduced by Tasmanian Senator Nick McKim (Greens), which means they will now be included in the bill. The bill will now be sent back to the House of Representatives, where our MPs will decide on whether they agree with the change.
What do the amendments do?
ACT Senator Katy Gallagher (Labor) said that the Government would be supporting the amendments and explained that:
The amendments remove grandfathering arrangements that exempt certain large proprietary companies from submitting audited annual reports to ASIC. There is no clear economic or policy reason for continuing this exemption. The amendments will remove the exemption, improving transparency and removing an information asymmetry between exempt proprietary companies and their competitors who were not grandfathered. Removal of this was recommended by the Senate Economics References Committee in 2015 and in subsequent reports in 2016 and 2018.
