Debate on a bill titled ‘The Environmental Protection Levy Act 2026’ had to be suspended today in the Senate, and the proposed statute withdrawn and replaced, as the document that was first before the Upper House was not a money bill.
This cock-up triggered a stern warning from acting Leader of Opposition Business Dr Floyd Morris, who described the error as unfortunate.
Lengthy presentations were made on the bill, and the senators had taken a lunch break to resume deliberations on the Environmental Levy Act 2026.
