What are Senate debates?

Debates in the Senate are an opportunity for Senators from all parties to scrutinise government legislation and raise important local, national or topical issues.

And sometimes to shout at each other.

  • Labor 2013-14 Budget Savings (Measures No. 1) Bill 2014; Second Reading (12 speeches)
    I would like to say a few words about this Orwellian titled bill. The Labor 2013-14 Budget Savings (Measures No. 1) Bill 2014 is part of a growing tradition within this parliament to see...

  • Tax and Superannuation Laws Amendment (2015 Measures No. 1) Bill 2015; Third Reading (1 speech)
    I move: That this bill be now read a third time. Question agreed to. Bill read a third time.
  • Renewable Energy (Electricity) Amendment Bill 2015; Second Reading (6 speeches)
