by leave—I would now like to move version 2 of amendment (3) as circulated in my name:

(3) Schedule 1, item 1, page 4 (after line 35), at the end of section 79AC, add:

(5) The Minister must table a copy of the final report before each House of the Parliament, within five sitting days of the House after the final report is given to the Minister.

This amendment at clause 3 is intended to increase the transparency of the commissioner to the parliament. The current arrangement is that the commissioner reports to the minister. This amendment requires the minister to table the report to parliament within five days of it being received.

Question agreed to.
