I present a supplementary explanatory memorandum to the bill and I move the government amendment:

(1) Schedule 1, item 1, page 3 (line 4) to page 5 (line 22), omit the item, substitute:

1 Section 6

Omit "$47", substitute "$55".

This amendment removes indexation of the passenger movement charge from the bill. The proposed increase of $8 will occur from 1 July 2012. The increase without indexation is expected to result in $485 million over the four years from 2012-13.
