I move:

That so much of the standing and sessional orders be suspended as would prevent the following from occurring:

(1) when the order of the day for the resumption of debate on the second reading of the Appropriation Bill (No. 1) 2014-2015 is called on, a cognate debate take place with the Appropriation Bill (No. 2) 2014-2015, Appropriation (Parliamentary Departments) Bill (No. 1) 2014-2015, Appropriation Bill (No. 5) 2013-2014, and Appropriation Bill (No. 6) 2013-2014;

(2) at the conclusion of the second reading debate, including a Minister speaking in reply, and thereafter, without delay, the immediate question, or questions, necessary to complete the second reading stage to be put, and when resolved Appropriation Bill (No. 1) 2014-2015 then being considered in detail and then any question or questions necessary to complete the remaining stages of the Bill to be put without amendment or debate;

(3) at the conclusion of the proceedings on Appropriation Bill (No. 1) 2014-2015, separate questions to be put without further debate on the motions for the second readings and any further motions necessary to conclude consideration of the Appropriation Bill (No. 2) 2014-2015, Appropriation (Parliamentary Departments) Bill (No. 1) 2014-2015, Appropriation Bill (No. 5) 2013-2014, and Appropriation Bill (No. 6) 2013-2014; and

(4) any variation to this arrangement to be made only by a motion moved by a Minister.

Question agreed to.

I move:

That, in respect of the proceedings on the Tax Laws Amendment (Temporary Budget Repair Levy) Bill 2014, the Income Tax Rates Amendment (Temporary Budget Repair Levy) Bill 2014, the Family Trust Distribution Tax (Primary Liability) Amendment (Temporary Budget Repair Levy) Bill 2014, the Fringe Benefits Tax Amendment (Temporary Budget Repair Levy) Bill 2014, the Income Tax (Bearer Debentures) Amendment (Temporary Budget Repair Levy) Bill 2014, the Income Tax (First Home Saver Accounts Misuse Tax) Amendment (Temporary Budget Repair Levy) Bill 2014, the Income Tax (TFN Withholding Tax (ESS)) Amendment (Temporary Budget Repair Levy) Bill 2014, the Superannuation (Departing Australia Superannuation Payments Tax) Amendment (Temporary Budget Repair Levy) Bill 2014, the Superannuation (Excess Non-Concessional Contributions Tax) Amendment (Temporary Budget Repair Levy) Bill 2014, the Superannuation (Excess Untaxed Roll-Over Amounts Tax) Amendment (Temporary Budget Repair Levy) Bill 2014, the Taxation (Trustee Beneficiary Non-Disclosure Tax) (No. 1) Amendment (Temporary Budget Repair Levy) Bill 2014, the Taxation (Trustee Beneficiary Non-Disclosure Tax) (No. 2) Amendment (Temporary Budget Repair Levy) Bill 2014, the Tax Laws Amendment (Interest On Non-Resident Trust Distributions) (Temporary Budget Repair Levy) Bill 2014, the Tax Laws Amendment (Untainting Tax) (Temporary Budget Repair Levy) Bill 2014, and the Trust Recoupment Tax Amendment (Temporary Budget Repair Levy) Bill 2014, so much of the standing and sessional orders be suspended as would prevent the following from occurring:

(1) the resumption of debate on the second readings of the bills being called on together;

(2) at the conclusion of the second reading debate, including a Minister speaking in reply, any questions being put on any amendments moved to motions for the second readings, and then one question being put on the second readings of the bills together;

(3) the consideration in detail stages, if required, on all the bills being taken together;

(4) at the conclusion of the detail stage, one question being put on the bills together and one question being put on the third readings of the bills together; and

(5) any variation to this arrangement to be made only by a motion moved by a Minister.

Just to briefly explain, both of those motions simply allow the debate on the appropriations to be held as a cognate debate and then the debate on the temporary budget repair levy bill, which obviously affects 14 separate pieces of legislation, also to be dealt with as a cognate debate. And I thank the Manager of Opposition Business for his cooperation.
