I move:

That this bill be now read a second time.

It is an honour to introduce and support the Emergency Response Fund (Consequential Amendments) Bill 2019. The bill facilitates the establishment of the Emergency Response Fund through amendments to related legislation.

The consequential amendments to these acts enable the effective operation of the Emergency Response Fund at commencement, including the abolition of the Education Investment Fund.

Commencement and further details can be found in the explanatory memorandum. I commend the bill to the House.

Debate adjourned.
