Debate resumed on the motion:

That this bill be now read a second time.

to which the following amendment was moved:

That all words after "That" be omitted with a view to substituting the following words: "whilst not declining to give the bill a second reading, the House:

(1) notes:

(a) objection to the growing burden of regulation being placed on the aged care sector by this Government and its impact on the ability of providers to make available affordable aged care places; and

(b) that the Government has broken its election promise to repeal one regulation for every new regulation; and

(2) calls on the Government to immediately adopt the Coalition's commitment to reduce Commonwealth regulation by at least $1 billion per year."
