Environment Protection and Biodiversity Conservation Amendment (Reconsiderations) Bill 2025

Senator HANSON-YOUNG (South Australia) (21:38): I move: Omit all words after "That", substitute: "(a) the bill be referred to the Environment and Communications Legislation Committee for inquiry and report by 15 April 2025; and (b) further consideration of the bill be made an order of the day for the first sitting day after 15 April 2025". The PRESIDENT: The question is that the second reading amendment as moved by Senator Hanson-Young be agreed to.

I think the noes have it. Senator Hanson-Young: The ayes have it. The PRESIDENT: Senator Hanson-Young, there was not one aye recorded.

Senator Hanson-Young interjecting — The PRESIDENT: Order! You're not in a debate with me. I will put it again.

I asked senators at the very beginning of this to pay attention, and there was no-one who called it. The question is that the second reading amendment as moved by Senator Hanson-Young be agreed to.
