I move:

That this bill be now read a second time.

The third bill in the package is the Public Governance, Performance and Accountability (Consequential Modifications of Appropriation Acts (No. 2), (No. 4) and No. 6)) Bill 2014.

This bill will modify the application of the annual appropriation acts for 2014-15 (once passed by the parliament) and for the two previous financial years, in relation to amounts other than the ordinary annual services of government contained in appropriations acts Nos 2, 4 and/or 6 for each of those years.

This bill will confirm the continuing ability of entities to access the appropriations approved by the parliament.

I commend the bill.

Debate adjourned.
