Vote: Bills β Employment (Pay Equity and Equal Pay) Bill
β First Reading
π³οΈ That the Employment (Pay Equity and Equal Pay) Bill be now read a first time
DEPUTY SPEAKER: Sorry, there will be silence while the votes are being taken.
π Bill failed here β this reading vote failed, and a bill can't proceed
past a failed reading. So even though this isn't the third reading, it's the last we saw
of this bill: it doesn't get another vote after this one.
β Failed by a narrow margin
(56 Ayes β 63 Noes β 1 Absent)
Hansard didn't name individual MPs for this vote, only how each party voted overall, so
there's no per-member breakdown to show here.
