Education Legislation Amendment (Startup Year and Other Measures) Bill 2023

The majority voted against amendment (1) on sheet 1937 revised 2, which was introduced by Victorian Senator Sarah Henderson (Liberal), meaning it was not successful.

What do the amendments do?

Senator Henderson explained that:

This provides that the bill effectively proceed the day after this act receives royal assent and the day after a copy of the proposed STARTUP-HELP guidelines have been tabled in the Senate. I appreciate that the guidelines have now been tabled in the Senate, but I would still like to put that to the Senate please.
