I move:
At the end of the motion, add:
", but the Senate notes that Senators are paid an annual allowance of $32,000, known as the
electorate allowance, and calls on all Senators to commit to spending their electorate
allowance on their electorate and their electorate responsibilities, rather than using it to top up
their already generous salary.".
Question negatived.
