Division
The majority voted against an amendment to the usual second reading motion "*that the bill be read for a [second time](https://www.peo.gov.au/understand-our-parliament/how-parliament-works/bills-and-laws/making-a-law-in-the-australian-parliament/)*" (parliamentary jargon for agreeing with the main idea of the bill). This means it failed. ### 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:* > > *(1) notes that Labor created Australia’s superannuation system so that every Australian can have dignity in retirement;* > > *(2) criticises Government members who would see Australia’s world class superannuation system become voluntary for working class Australians; and* > > *(3) further notes that too many Australians retire without adequate retirement savings, which is why our superannuation system needs to be strengthened and protected, not undermined".*
