What was decided

The majority voted in favour of disagreeing with an amendment moved by Mayo MP Rebekha Sharkie (Centre Alliance), which would have amended another amendment moved by Wentworth MP Allegra Spender (Independent).

Amendment text

That the following words be added after the words 90 days: ."; and

(1) parts 1, 2 and 3 of the bill are added to the inquiry; and

(2) calls on the Government to change the definition of a small business from 15 to 100 employees".

Ms Spender's original amendment text

That all words after "reading" be omitted with a view to substituting the following words:

"until an inquiry into parts 11, 15, 18, 19, 21 and 22 of the bill is undertaken by a House or Senate committee, with the inquiry lasting not less than 90 days".
