The Senate on Wednesday shelved debate on the contentious Cybercrime Bill, sending the controversial legislation to a select committee of both houses of Parliament.The joint select committee, according to a resolution introduced by Leader of Government Business Senator Lisa Cummins, will be required to report on its findings in three months.The resolution was passed without further comment.Senator Cummins prefaced the resolution by pointing out that the government has listened to recommendations and continued to consult and engage on matters of public interest.She said she welcomed the opportunity for a “fuller discussion” on the Bill which has been at the centre of a robust public debate in recent weeks.
