    The #Senate has agreed to the Social Services Legislation Amendment (Welfare Reform) Bill 2017 with amendments and requests for amendments. The bill won't be read a third time in the Senate until the House has considered the requests and the Senate accepts its response

        Has the bill passed or only amendments were agreed to?

        The House of Reps now needs to consider the Senate's requests for amendments. Once the Senate accepts the House's response, it will vote on the third reading of the bill. If that's agreed to, the House will then consider the Senate's amendments. So ... still a few steps to go
