I move:

That this bill be now read a second time.

The purpose of the Appropriation (Parliamentary Departments) Bill (No. 1) 2006-2007 is to provide funding for the operations of the three parliamentary departments.

The total appropriation sought through this bill is $171.6 million. Details of the proposed expenditure are set out in the schedule to the bill.

I commend the bill to the House.

Debate (on motion by Ms Gillard) adjourned.
