What was decided

The majority voted against amendments introduced by NSW Senator David Shoebridge (Greens), which means they failed.

What do these amendments do?

Senator Shoebridge explained that:

These amendments taken together add in a number of matters that need to be considered by the Attorney-General in making a decision on transferring a prisoner to other countries. They include explicit consideration of matters including a prisoner's welfare, family and community support, medical conditions and disability, and the ability to receive appropriate care for these education, accommodation and employment services post-release.
