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.
