HECS debt cut legislation first bill to pass the parliament

The HECS/Help legislation has passed through the senate with no amendments. The Greens and independents voted for it, the Coalition abstained and One Nation voted against it.

Hi Amy. It is pathetic that the Coalition couldn’t bring themselves to support this bill in the Senate after Ley said they would not oppose it. Not even recording a vote by abstaining? Just shows how tone deaf and incompetent the Coalition is, still not reading the room.

"The Greens and independents voted for it..."

I don't see Lidia Thorpe listed as voting for it though she is an Independent.
