The migration bill has passed the second reading stage 32 to 30. Labor, the Greens, Derryn Hinch, Tim Storer and Centre Alliance have passed it, and the Coalition have voted against its own bill.



The next stage of this long drawn out theatre is voting on the Storer-Nick McKim amendments (to add provisions about medical transfers). Then we’ll get a final, third reading vote and it will pass the Senate.
