Divisions

The majority voted against an [amendment](https://www.openaustralia.org.au/debate/?id=2023-09-12.9.2) to the usual second reading motion - "that the bill be read a second time" (parliamentary jargon for agreeing with the main idea of the bill) - which was introduced by Bradfield MP [Paul Fletcher](https://theyvoteforyou.org.au/people/representatives/bradfield/paul_fletcher) (Liberal). ### Motion 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 notes that:* > > *(1) the electronic execution of a Commonwealth statutory declaration was first implemented under the former government;* > > *(2) digital verification relies on MyGovID and the Trusted Digital Identity Framework, both of which were created by the former government;* > > *(3) the government is yet to formally respond to the MyGov User Audit; and* > > *(4) the government is yet to establish a legislated national digital identity system".* — 2023-09-13, House of Representatives: negative, ayes 55, noes 85
