What was decided

The majority voted against an amendment to the usual second reading text, which is "that the bill be read a second time" (parliamentary jargon for a agreeing with the main idea of the bill).

Amendment text

That the amendment moved by the honourable member for Hume be agreed to:

That all words after "That" be omitted with a view to substituting the following words:

"whilst not declining to give the bill a second reading, the House calls on the Government to remove any references to a notification of the Chief of the Defence Force, considering the impact this would have on a member's right to privacy and access to care".
