Amendment

A vote on changing the text of a bill or motion, not on passing it.

Official title
Motions - Parliamentary Procedure - Treasury Laws Amendment (Fairer for Families and Farmers and Other Measures) Bill 2024

Noes in the majority

This says only which side won the vote, because what Aye and No meant here depends on the exact question put in the chamber.

“Not recorded voting” is everyone eligible who isn't recorded as Aye or No, for example absent, paired, or presiding.

What was decided

The majority voted against a motion introduced by Bradfield MP Paul Fletcher (Liberal), which means it failed. The motion was to suspend the usual procedural rules of parliament - known as standing orders - in order to let another vote take place.

Motion text

That so much of the standing and sessional orders be suspended as would prevent the Manager of Opposition Business moving the following motion immediately:

That this House expresses its strong disapproval of this Government's contempt for good parliamentary process in bringing on debate on the Treasury Laws Amendment (Fairer for Families and Farmers and Other Measures) Bill 2024 within one day of the bill being introduced and without adequate notice to parliamentarians.
