The opposition supports the Senate’s approach to the Tax Laws Amendment (2008 Measures No. 2) Bill 2008. They are essentially measures that we consider to be non-controversial and they were brought back to this House to be passed by the end of the financial year, as is appropriate. There have been some measures contained in tax bills that we believe should go through a fuller legislative process, and that is what we have moved to do in the Senate—although, as I said, the opposition support the approach that the Senate has taken on these particular amendments. We support them going through so that they can be enacted by the end of the financial year.

Question agreed to.
