The majority voted against [amendment requests (1) to (11)](https://www.openaustralia.org.au/senate/?gid=2023-03-06.28.1) on sheet 1828 moved by NSW Senator [Mehreen Faruqi](https://theyvoteforyou.org.au/people/senate/nsw/mehreen_faruqi) (Greens), which means it failed. ### What does the amendment do? Senator Faruqi [explained that](https://www.openaustralia.org.au/senate/?gid=2023-03-06.28.1): > *... a key shortcoming of this bill is that PhD students are not included in the Paid Parental Leave scheme. They, despite often conducting research on a fulltime basis, cannot access the same parental leave entitlement as other working parents. Currently the PhD students don't qualify for the scheme because their activities are counted as study through a scholarship or other award or financial aid and that blocks them out of this act as it stands currently. There is no good reason for this, and this has to change.* ### Amendment text > *(1) Schedule 1, item 1, page 3 (line 10), after "paid workforce", insert "or from eligible postgraduate work".* > > *(2) Schedule 1, page 9 (after line 1), after item 13, insert:* > >> *13A Section 6* >> >> *Insert:* >> >>> *eligible postgraduate work: see section 35AA.* > > *(3) Schedule 1, item 58, page 23 (line 23), omit "or taken enough paid leave", substitute ", taken enough paid leave or performed enough eligible postgraduate work".* > > *(4) Schedule 1, page 24 (after line 19), after item 61, insert:* > >> *61A After paragraph 31AA(2)(c)* >> >> *Insert:* >> >>> *(ca) on that day the person is performing no more than one hour of eligible postgraduate work; and* > > *(5) Schedule 1, page 27 (after line 9), after item 75, insert:* > >> *75A Section 32 (at the end of paragraph (b) of note 1)* >> >> *Add "or eligible postgraduate work".* > > *(6) Schedule 1, item 86, page 28 (lines 19 to 21), omit the item, substitute:* > >> *86 Paragraphs 33(2A)(a) and (b)* >> >>> *Omit "primary claimant", substitute "PPL claimant or special PPL claimant
