Text recorded with this division

David Pocock

DAVID POCOCK () (): I move paragraph (c) of my amendment:

At the end of the motion, add:

"(c) the Online Safety Amendment (Social Media Minimum Age) Bill 2024, the provisions of the bill be referred immediately to the Environment and Communications Legislation Committee for inquiry and report by 28 November 2024".

I move this amendment to give us an extra couple of days to have a look at the Online Safety Amendment (Social Media Minimum Age) Bill 2024.

Sue Lines

I do draw your attention to the Greens' motion which was similar and has just been defeated, but if you want it put, I will put it. The question is that paragraph (c) of the amendment moved by Senator David Pocock be agreed to.

This is the question as put in the chamber, with the name of the member who spoke before the vote. It isn't a summary of the bill or motion.
