Division
The majority voted against an amendment introduced by Bradfield MP [Paul Fletcher](https://theyvoteforyou.org.au/people/representatives/bradfield/paul_fletcher) (Liberal), which means it failed. ### What did this amendment do? Mr Fletcher explained that: > *This amendment is straightforward and uncontroversial. It's designed to do two specific things. The first is to ensure there is a review of the subdivision. To explain this to members, the effect of this provision is that the parliament and the people of Australia will have the opportunity to revisit these new offences to see if they remain appropriate after two years. The opposition submits that this is a reasonable period of time. The second thing that this amendment does is seek to ensure that the clauses in the bill do not infringe any implied constitutional doctrine of the implied freedom of political communication. This is a straightforward measure that is intended to preserve validity.* ### Amendment text > *(1) Schedule 1, item 5, page 3 (after line 22), after paragraph 80.2E(c), insert:* > >> *(ca) the Nazi salute;* > > *(2) Schedule 1, item 5, page 3 (line 24), omit "(b) or (c)", substitute "(b), (c) or (ca)".* > > *(3) Schedule 1, item 5, page 4 (after line 4), at the end of subsection 80.2F(1), add:* > >> *Example: If the Nazi salute is performed or otherwise displayed in a public place and is capable of being seen by a member of the public in that place, then the Nazi salute is displayed in a public place under this subsection.* > > *(4) Schedule 1, item 5, page 6 (line 3), omit "Note", substitute "Note 1".* > > *(5) Schedule 1, item 5, page 6 (after line 3), after note 1, insert:* > >> *Note 2: This section is not intended to apply to the exclusion of a law of a State or Territory to the extent that the law is capable of operating concurrently with this section (see section 80.6).* > > *(6) Schedule 1, item 5, page 9 (after line 9), after subparagraph 80.2H(10)(g)(ii), insert:* > >> *(iia) the Nazi
