Bills

Sustainable Forests (Timber) Repeal Bill 2024

Second reading

Debate resumed on motion of Steve Dimopoulos:

That this bill be now read a second time.

And Emma Kealy’s amendment:

That all the words after ‘That’ be omitted and replaced with the words ‘this house refuses to read this bill a second time until fair compensation for loss of income is received by all those impacted by the Labor government’s early closure of the sustainable native timber industry.’

The SPEAKER: The minister has moved that the bill be now read a second time. The member for Lowan has moved a reasoned amendment to this motion. She has proposed to omit all the words after ‘That’ and replace them with the words which appear on the notice paper. The question is:

That the words proposed to be omitted stand part of the question.

Those supporting the reasoned amendment by the member for Lowan should vote no.

Assembly divided on question:

Third reading

Motion agreed to.

Read third time.

The SPEAKER: The bill will now be sent to the Legislative Council and their agreement requested.
