What was decided

The majority voted in favour of amendments introduced by South Australian Senator Anne Ruston (Liberal), which means it will now be incorporated into the bill.

Senator Ruston explained that "The amendments that the opposition is proposing on this are to reduce the minister's rulemaking powers from 24 months to 12 months."
