Divisions

The majority voted in favour of keeping unchanged 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/), which is that the [bill](https://www.aph.gov.au/Parliamentary_Business/Bills_Legislation/Bills_Search_Results/Result?bId=s1291) be read a second time (parliamentary jargon for agreeing with the main idea of the bill). This vote occurred after Ballarat MP [Catherine King](https://theyvoteforyou.org.au/people/representatives/ballarat/catherine_king) (Labor) proposed an [amendment](https://www.openaustralia.org.au/debate/?id=2021-06-03.25.1) that: > *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 this Government's record of undermining the Australian shipping industry;* > > *(2) reaffirms that Australia's tourism industry, marine and coastal environment, and national security interests are best served by a viable and competitive shipping industry; and* > > *(3) commits to a thorough review of the Act at the revised sunset date of 30 June 2023".* — 2021-06-03, House of Representatives: affirmative, ayes 68, noes 59
