What was decided

The majority voted in favour of disagreeing with amendment (3), which was introduced by Bradfield MP Paul Fletcher (Liberal). This means it failed.

Amendment text

Mr Fletcher explained that:

this amendment, working together with amendments (2), (4) and (11), would be to expand the notice period required for flexible unpaid parental leave to include the start and end dates and the number of days at the 10-week point of notice.

Amendment text

(3) Schedule 2, item 51, page 11 (lines 18 and 19), omit the item, substitute:

51 Subsection 74(4) (heading)

Omit "72", substitute "72A".
