After consulting EPC and other parenting organizations, the Opposition have tabled some amendments. More can be tabled up to two days ahead of when the clause in question will be debated. The clauses will be debated in the order in which they appear in the Bill.

CLICK HERE to access all amendments tabled on the parliamentary website.

EPC would very much like to hear feedback on the amendments, any suggestions for further amendments, and any general comments on second reading.

Please email feedback to tony.coe@EqualParenting.org
