Victorian Institute of Forensic Medicine Bill 2024
Second reading
Debate resumed on motion of Anthony Carbines:
That this bill be now read a second time.
And Michael O’Brien’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 the government:
(a) properly consults with the medical profession in Victoria on the Victorian Institute of Forensic Medicine;
(b) ensures that victim-survivors of sexual assault can obtain timely forensic medical services; and
(c) improves safeguards for the use and sharing of personal information held by the Victorian Institute of Forensic Medicine.’
The SPEAKER: The minister has moved that the bill be now read a second time. The member for Malvern has moved a reasoned amendment to this motion. He has proposed to omit all words after ‘That’ and replace them with the words 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 Malvern should vote no.
Assembly divided on question:
Third reading
