Pat Conroy (Charlton, Australian Labor Party) Share this | Hansard source

I move the second reading amendment circulated in the name of the member for Fraser:

That all the words after "That" be omitted with a view to substituting the following words:

"whilst not declining to give the bill a second reading the House is of the opinion that:

(1) The Government has broken an election promise and back flipped on its previous pledge to oppose this measure; and

(2) The Government's decision to not continue with the Australian Jobs Act, which was intended to be funded by revenue from this tax measure, is deplorable. This demonstrates the Government's lack of commitment to supporting Australian employment."
