National Disability Insurance Scheme Amendment (Securing the Ndis for Future Generations) Bill 2026 - Second Reading - CALD communities

Not passed12 aye · 86 no

What this vote was about

The majority voted against an amendment introduced by Fowler MP Dai Le (Independent), which means it failed. This amendment would have changed the words of 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).

Amendment text

That all words after “House” be omitted with a view to substituting the following words:

“(1) notes that:

(a) culturally and linguistically diverse communities experience additional barriers in accessing and engaging with the NDIS; and

(b) a lack of consultation with culturally and linguistically diverse participants and service providers may result in further barriers and inequity; and

(2) calls on the Government to ensure the implementation of the reforms does not inadvertently impose additional burdens on, or further disadvantage culturally and linguistically diverse NDIS participants”.

Context written by They Vote For You volunteers (ODbL), reproduced unchanged.

Second reading: The second reading vote decides whether the chamber agrees with the bill in principle. A second reading amendment attaches commentary or conditions to that agreement without changing the bill's text.
