I move:

That all words after "That" be omitted with a view to substituting the following words:

"Whilst not declining to give the bill a second reading, the House notes that the Coalition continues to accept donations from tobacco companies".

The coalition is yet to kick the habit. The coalition continues to accept donations from big tobacco. Australian Electoral Commission returns from 2015-16 show the sum of $14,940 given from big tobacco to the National Party of Australia. The returns from 2016-17 show the sum of $15,700 received by the National Party of Australia. I seek leave to table the Australian Electoral Commission returns showing these tobacco donations to the Nationals.
