What was decided

The majority voted against an amendment to the usual second reading amendment, which is "that the bill be read a second time" (parliamentary jargon for agreeing with the main idea of the bill). The amendment was introduced by NSW Senator David Shoebridge (Greens) and would have added the following words:

At the end of the motion, add ", but the Senate notes that the explanatory memorandum to this bill claims that the amendments in the bill have no financial impact".
