I move the second reading amendment on sheet 1611 standing in my name:
At the end of the motion, add ", but the Senate calls on the Government to:
(a) provide a clear plan for an end to all compulsory income management, which disproportionately impacts First Nations peoples; and
(b) urgently and significantly increase the funding for community and support services through a jobs and services plan, including redirecting any savings from the abolition of the cashless debit card to these services".
