Divisions

The majority voted in favour of keeping the usual [second reading motion](https://peo.gov.au/understand-our-parliament/how-parliament-works/bills-and-laws/making-a-law-in-the-australian-parliament/) unchanged. The usual second reading motion is "*that the bill be read a second time*", which is parliamentary jargon for agreeing with the main idea of the bill. This vote took place after the MP for Hindmarsh [Mark Butler](https://theyvoteforyou.org.au/people/representatives/hindmarsh/mark_butler) (Labor) proposed the following 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 urges the Government to better protect Australians' health during the pandemic and deliver a more sustainable, equitable, and effective health care system"* — 2021-06-01, House of Representatives: affirmative, ayes 73, noes 60
