I move:

That this bill be now read a second time.

The total appropriation sought through the  Appropriation (Parliamentary Departments) Bill (No. 1) 2010-2011 is $222.1 million.

An additional appropriation of $46.8 million is proposed to fund asset replacement in 2010-11 and an additional $18.3 million is provided to improve the security of Parliament House, including changes to the main public car park.

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 Mrs Bronwyn Bishop) adjourned.
