Bail Further Amendment Bill 2025
Second reading
Debate resumed on motion of Sonya Kilkenny:
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 Allan Labor government:
(a) urgently provides Victoria Police and Corrections Victoria with all resources necessary to implement this bill without further delay; and
(b) adopts the Liberal and National parties’ ‘break bail, face jail’ policy to ensure that Victoria’s bail laws do not continue to fail to protect community safety.’
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 of the words after ‘That’ and replace them with the words that 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 Malvern should vote no.
Assembly divided on question:
