The majority voted in favour of a motion that part 1 of schedule 5 *stand as printed.* This is parliamentary jargon for leaving that part unchanged. This vote was put after NSW Senator David Leyonhjelm (Liberal Democratic Party) [proposed that](https://www.openaustralia.org.au/senate/?id=2018-02-13.7.1) the part be opposed. Senator Leyonhjelm [explained that](https://www.openaustralia.org.au/senate/?gid=2018-02-13.11.1): > *What my amendment [to oppose this part] would do would be to remove something which is quite unnecessary in this bill we are considering. The rest of the bill is fine, but this rather sneaky little provision removes the June 2020 sunset clause that regulates the location of pharmacies and establishes whether an application to establish one can be granted.* ### What is part 1, schedule 5? > *Part 1 — Australian Community Pharmacy Authority* > > *National Health Act 1953* > > *1 Subsection 90(3C)* > > *Repeal the subsection.* > > *2 Section 99Y* > > *Repeal the section.*
