In summing up I would like to thank those who have contributed to the debate on Supply Bill No. 1 2016-2017, Supply Bill No. 2 2016-2017 and Supply (Parliamentary Departments) Bill (No.1). They seek appropriations from the Consolidated Revenue Fund for proposed expenditure for the first part of 2016-17 broadly until about the end of November. The total of appropriations being sought through these three supply bills is just over $41 billion. These supply bills must be passed in this session to ensure funding is available to all entities from 1 July 2016, thereby ensuring the continuity of program and service delivery of the operations of the parliament. I commend these bills to the House.

Question agreed to.

Bill read a second time.
