In accordance with standing order 133(b), I shall now proceed to put the question on the motion for the second reading on which a division was called for and deferred in accordance with standing orders. No further debate is allowed.

Question put:

That this bill be now read a second time.

A division having been called and the bells having been rung—

As there are fewer than five members on the side for the noes, I declare the question resolved in the affirmative in accordance with standing order 127. The names of those members who are in the minority will be recorded in the Votes and Proceedings.

Question agreed to, Mr Bandt and Mr Wilkie dissenting.

Bill read a second time.
