Health Legislation Amendment (Modernising My Health Record—Sharing by Default) Bill 2024

Senator ROBERTS (Queensland) (19:12): by leave—I move Pauline Hanson's One Nation amendment on sheet 3327: At the end of the motion, add ", but the Senate is of the view that: (a) Australians are increasingly concerned about the privacy and security implications of increasing use of centralised digital IDs and other government data frameworks; (b) My Health Record was originally promised to the Australian people as an opt-in, opt-out, voluntary system; and (c) sharing sensitive medical information by default to My Health Record breaches this promise to the Australian people".

Question negatived. The PRESIDENT: I will now deal with the second reading amendment circulated by Senator Thorpe. As this amendment was not circulated within the required timeframe it can only be considered by leave.
