Selection of Bills Committee

Amendment

A vote on changing the text of a bill or motion, not on passing it.

Official title
Committees - Selection of Bills Committee; Report - Fair Work Legislation Amendment (Secure Jobs, Better Pay) Bill 2022

Noes in the majority

This says only which side won the vote, because what Aye and No meant here depends on the exact question put in the chamber.

No

“Not recorded voting” is everyone eligible who isn't recorded as Aye or No, for example absent, paired, or presiding.

What was decided

The majority voted against an amendment to the original motion, which means it failed. The amendment was introduced by ACT Senator David Pocock (Independent).

Amendment text

At the end of the motion, add:

"and, in respect of the Fair Work Legislation Amendment (Secure Jobs, Better Pay) Bill 2022, the provisions of the bill be referred immediately to the Education and Employment Legislation Committee for inquiry and report by the first day of the second sitting week in 2023"
