Divisions

The majority voted against an [amendment](https://www.openaustralia.org.au/senate/?gid=2019-04-03.159.1) introduced by WA Senator [Rachel Siewert](https://theyvoteforyou.org.au/people/senate/wa/rachel_siewert) (Greens). It would have added the words below to the end of the usual motion "*that the bill be read [for a second time](https://www.peo.gov.au/learning/fact-sheets/making-a-law.html)*", which is parliamentary jargon for: "*that the majority agree with the main idea of the bill*". ### Words added > *At the end of the motion, add:* > > *", but the Senate calls upon the Government to re-regulate electricity prices and establish a public retailer to lower electricity prices."* — 2019-04-03, Senate: negative, ayes 11, noes 28
