Vote: Bills — Parental Leave and Employment Protection (Six Months’ Paid Leave) Amendment Bill
— Second Reading
🗳️ That the Parental Leave and Employment Protection (Six Months’ Paid Leave) Amendment Bill be now read a second time
Mr DEPUTY SPEAKER: Let us just conclude the voting and then we will take any leave to table anything after that. Read more →
🛑 Bill failed here — 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.
✕ Failed by a narrow margin
(58 Ayes – 63 Noes)
Hansard didn't name individual MPs for this vote, only how each party voted overall, so
