Divisions

• The majority voted against an [amendment](https://www.openaustralia.org.au/senate/?gid=2022-03-30.218.1) 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, which is "*that the bill be read for a second time*" - parliamentary jargon for agreeing with the main idea of the bill. Because this vote failed, the usual second reading motion will remain unchanged. ### Amendment text > *At the end of the motion, add ", but the Senate notes that the Coalition Government has repeatedly tried to cut the pension, including pensioner concessions, the assets test and indexation, and attempted to increase the pension age to 70".* — 2022-03-30, Senate: negative, ayes 25, noes 28
