Division

The majority voted in favour of a [motion](https://www.openaustralia.org.au/senate/?id=2022-03-30.194.1) to keep unchanged table item 2.2.55 of item (1) and item (8) of schedule 3. In parliamentary jargon, they voted that the items "*stand as printed*." This vote took place after NSW Senator [Mehreen Faruqi](https://theyvoteforyou.org.au/people/senate/nsw/mehreen_faruqi) (Greens) proposed that they be opposed. Because this vote was successful, the items will remain as they are. ### What did these items do? [According to Senator Faruqi](https://www.openaustralia.org.au/senate/?id=2022-03-30.194.1): > *... here we have a government trying to sneak in deductible gift status for the [Ramsay Centre for Western Civilisation](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Paul_Ramsay#Ramsay_Centre_for_Western_Civilisation), a move that will allow the centre to avoid taxation on their income. My amendment will stop this from happening.* But Victorian Senator [Jane Hume](https://theyvoteforyou.org.au/people/senate/victoria/jane_hume) (Liberal) disagreed, [saying](https://www.openaustralia.org.au/senate/?gid=2022-03-30.195.1): > *I think the senator has misunderstood what DGR status actually implies. It does not mean that the Ramsay centre doesn't pay tax; it means that donors to the Ramsay centre are allowed to deduct their donations.*
