The majority voted against amendments introduced by Victorian Senator Sarah Henderson (Liberal), which means they failed.

Amendment text

(2) Schedule 1, item 15, page 6 (lines 25 and 26), omit paragraph 15C(4A)(d).

What is paragraph 15C(4A)?

According to the bills digest:

The payment methods specified in proposed subsection 15C(4A) are a credit card, an account, service or facility in which payment is made from a linked credit card (primarily digital wallets), digital currency (or cryptocurrency), or a method determined by the Minister by disallowable legislative instrument. The allowance for Ministerial discretion is to account for any possible new forms of credit developed to circumvent the new restrictions.
