Division

The majority voted against an [amendment](https://www.openaustralia.org.au/senate/?gid=2018-02-12.258.1) introduced by NSW Senator [Doug Cameron](https://theyvoteforyou.org.au/people/senate/nsw/doug_cameron) (Labor), which means it failed. ### What do these amendments do? Senator Cameron [explained that](https://www.openaustralia.org.au/senate/?gid=2018-02-12.256.1): > *Our amendments seek to improve the way the trial work in Ceduna and East Kimberley by ensuring that the rules by which a community body makes recommendations to the secretary are transparent and made public. Labor, in its own consultations, heard the way in which the decisions made by the community body were not always clear and transparent.* > > *The government must specify funding for wraparound services in trial sites formally in the legislation. The wraparound services are important. There is no point in putting these cards in without appropriate wraparound services. The minister could give me a figure on what wraparound services cost across the country, but, for the bill that's been brought here, we didn't get any specified idea of what the wraparound services were costing. We are seeking that the government specify the social support services to ensure trial participants get the alcohol rehabilitation, mental health and other support services they need. The funding allocated in the new services being delivered is not clear to trial participants. This amendment requires the information be made public.* ### Amendment text > *(2) Schedule 1, item 2, page 3 (lines 7 and 8), omit the item, substitute:* > > *2 Paragraph 124PF(1 ) ( b)* > >> *Omit "30 June 2018", substitute "30 June 2019".* > > *3 Subsection 124PF(2)* > >> *Omit "up to 3 discrete", substitute "2 discrete".* > > *4 Paragraph 124PK(2 ) ( a)* > >> *After "voluntary participant", insert "reached in accordance with the requirements set out in a determination made under subsection (6)".* > > *5 At the end of section 124PK* > >> *Add:* >> >>
