Defeat of No-Preference Bill Shocks Senate Vote
The Senate rejected the No-Preference bill by a two to six vote after a long sitting. Debates in the House of Representatives had stretched into the afternoon while the Senate continued discussions on the Address in Reply. Officials noted divisions within the Labor ranks and tensions between government backers and opposition, as the bill drifted toward a potential double dissolution. The Prime Minister indicated the issue remains unresolved and the government will pursue next steps amid ongoing parliamentary maneuvering.
