I move:

That this bill be now read a second time.

It is with great pleasure that I move the Future Drought Fund (Consequential Amendments) Bill 2019. The Future Drought Fund (Consequential Amendments) Bill 2019 facilitates the establishment of the Future Drought Fund through amendments to related legislation.

The consequential amendments to these acts enable the effective operation of the Future Drought Fund at commencement, including the abolition of the Building Australia Fund.

Commencement and further details can be found in the explanatory memorandum.

Debate adjourned.
