Summary
EditThe majority voted in favour of an amendment to the usual second reading motion, which is "that the bill be read a second time" (parliamentary jargon for agreeing with the main idea of the bill). This means the words below will be added to the original motion.
Amendment text
At the end of the motion, add ", but the Senate:
(a) commits to diminishing the political influence of the tobacco industry, in the interests of protecting Australians and the nation's tobacco control policies from industry influence, in line with Australia's obligations under the World Health Organisation Framework Convention on Tobacco Control; and
(b) calls on all politicians and all political parties to stop accepting political donations from the tobacco industry and revoke any passes that they have sponsored for members of the tobacco industry, and their agents, to access Parliament House".
Votes Passed by a small majority
Nobody rebelled against their party.
