Divisions

The majority voted in favour of keeping the usual second reading motion unchanged. The usual second reading motion is “*that the bill be [read a second time](https://peo.gov.au/understand-our-parliament/how-parliament-works/bills-and-laws/making-a-law-in-the-australian-parliament/)*”, which is parliamentary jargon for agreeing with the main idea of the bill. This vote happened after Barton MP [Linda Burney](https://theyvoteforyou.org.au/people/representatives/barton/linda_burney) (Labor) proposed an amendment. ### 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 the Government has made it more expensive for Australian students to undertake tertiary study, and has pushed students into taking on more debt; and* > > *(2) calls on the Government to ensure rural and remote students have access to quality continuing education".* — 2021-05-12, House of Representatives: affirmative, ayes 79, noes 66
