Division
The majority voted against an [amendment](https://www.openaustralia.org.au/senate/?gid=2018-03-20.289.1) introduced by WA Senator [Rachel Siewert](https://theyvoteforyou.org.au/people/senate/wa/rachel_siewert), which means it failed. ### What does the amendment do? Senator Siewert [explained that](https://www.openaustralia.org.au/senate/?gid=2018-03-20.289.1): > *This would amend item 1 of schedule 15 and provides for a review. I'm aware of the government's comments on review in 18 months of the legislation, and I want to come back to that, but this would be a quite detailed process. In relation to the compliance focused amendments of schedule 15, as you can see, there's a detailed outline of an independent review of the participation payment obligations compliance framework. That's one part of the amendment. The second part relates to independent annual reviews of the participation payment obligations compliance framework. Again, it goes into quite a bit of detail about how that independent review would be undertaken.*
