Divisions
- The majority voted against an amendment to a deferral motion. That is, they voted against changing a motion to resume debate on the [bill](http://parlinfo.aph.gov.au/parlInfo/search/display/display.w3p;query=Id:legislation/billhome/r5981) on *the next sitting date* to a motion to resume debate on *the first sitting in 2018*. This amendment was put forward by Labor MP [Anthony Albanese](https://theyvoteforyou.org.au/people/representatives/grayndler/anthony_albanese), as the Labor Party believed that consultation was required before they could consider this bill and so wanted the time for that consultation to be conducted. — 2017-09-13, House of Representatives: negative, ayes 69, noes 74
- The majority voted against an amendment to the usual [second reading](https://peo.gov.au/understand-our-parliament/how-parliament-works/bills-and-laws/making-a-law-in-the-australian-parliament/) motion to agree with the bill's main idea - in parliamentary jargon, "*That the bill be read a second time*" - which means the amendment failed and the second reading motion will remain unchanged. ### Amendment text > *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:* > > *(1) notes that during the current Government’s tenure 12 previously Australian-flagged vessels have been reflagged to foreign States—in each case the Australian flag has been lowered and replaced with the white flag when it comes to Australian jobs;* > > *(2) further notes that:* > >> *(a) the consultations associated with preparation of the bill were negligible, the Minister failed to build bipartisan support for the changes he has brought before the Parliament, and the Government is attempting to tilt the 'playing field' further in favour of foreign operators to the detriment of Australian-based shipping companies and other domestic modes of transport, including rail; and* > >> *(b) the Government's true intentions are confirmed in the bill's Regulation Impact Statement, which on page 9 reads '...the current framework makes it unattractive for foreign ships to enter the coastal trading sector' and on page 14 reads 'These amendments ... will remove the barriers that currently face many foreign flagged vessels under the current system'; and* > >> *(3) reaffirms that Australia’s vital economic, environment and national security interests are best served when there is a viable, competitive and growing local shipping industry."* — 2018-08-15, House of Representatives: negative, ayes 67, noes 78

- The majority voted against [amendments (2) and (4) to (14)](https://www.openaustralia.org.au/debate/?id=2018-08-15.134.1) introduced by Grayndler MP [Anthony Albanese](https://theyvoteforyou.org.au/people/representatives/grayndler/anthony_albanese) (Labor), which means they failed. ### What did this amendment do? Mr Albanese [explained that](https://www.openaustralia.org.au/debates/?id=2018-08-15.121.1): > *They would omit a range of items from the legislation. Currently there are two types of licence variations to an existing temporary licence: authorised matters—that is, a change to a loading date or volume on an existing planned voyage; and new matters—authorising an entirely new voyage on an existing temporary licence. In the name of streamlining, the bill proposes replacing the two types of licence variations with a single temporary licence variation provision.* ### Amendment text > *(2) Schedule 1, item 9, page 5 (lines 1 and 2), omit the item.* > > *(4) Schedule 1, item 16, page 5 (lines 24 and 25), omit the item.* > > *(5) Schedule 1, item 36, page 8 (lines 25 to 27), omit the item.* > > *(6) Schedule 1, items 37 to 40, page 8 (line 28) to page 9 (line 13), omit the items.* > > *(7) Schedule 1, item 41, page 9 (lines 14 to 17), omit the item.* > > *(8) Schedule 1, items 42 and 43, page 9 (lines 18 to 25), omit the items.* > > *(9) Schedule 1, item 44, page 9 (lines 26 and 27), omit the item.* > > *(10) Schedule 1, item 45, page 10 (lines 1 and 2), omit the item.* > > *(11) Schedule 1, item 49, page 10 (line 16), after "43", insert "or 51".* > > *(12) Schedule 1, items 58 and 59, page 11 (lines 10 to 13), omit the items.* > > *(13) Schedule 1, items 61 to 63, page 11 (lines 16 to 26), omit the items.* > > *(14) Schedule 1, item 65, page 12 (lines 21 to 25), omit subitem (4).* — 2018-08-15, House of Representatives: negative, ayes 67, noes 78
