Division

The majority voted in favour of a [motion](http://www.openaustralia.org/debate/?id=2014-03-24.136.8) that the bill be agreed to, which ends the consideration and detail stage.(Read more about the stages that a bill must pass through to become law [here](http://www.peo.gov.au/learning/fact-sheets/making-a-law.html). ) That the House of Representatives can now decide on whether to read the bill a third time and therefore pass it in the House. _Background to the bill_ In the [2013 election](http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Australian_federal_election,_2013) campaign, the [Coalition](http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Coalition_%28Australia%29) said that it would be an infrastructure-focused government and committed to finding ways to encourage the private sector to become more involved in infrastructure financing. This bill reflects that commitment by amending the _Nation Building Program (National Land Transport) Act 2009_ ('the Act') to allow partnerships and non-corporate Commonwealth entities, such as public private partnerships, to be funded. The bill also renames the Act to the _National Land Transport Act 2014_ and continues the [Roads to Recovery Programme](http://investment.infrastructure.gov.au/funding/r2r/) after 30 June 2014, when it is currently scheduled to end.(Read more about the bill in the [bills digest](http://www.aph.gov.au/Parliamentary_Business/Bills_Legislation/bd/bd1314a/14bd091).)
