House debates Bills
Social Services Legislation Amendment (Drug Testing Trial) Bill 2019; Second Reading
Linda Burney Barton, Australian Labor Party, Shadow Minister for Families and Social Services

I move:
That all words after "That" be omitted with a view to substituting the following words:
"The House declines to give the bill a second reading and:
(1) notes the overwhelming medical, expert and overseas evidence that this bill will not work to address addiction, decrease unemployment or create jobs; and
(2) calls on the Government to reject the bill and instead pursue evidence-based policy and invest in quality health and social services".
