The Autonomous Sanctions Amendment (Magnitsky-style and Other Thematic Sanctions) Bill 2021 is a really important bill that is long overdue. People across both sides of the chamber, in this place and in the other, have said many things. There is capability in this to add other themes and additions, but the important thing is that we acknowledge not only people like Michael Danby but people around the country who have been calling for this sort of legislation, so I'd like to thank all contributors to the debate. I've just given an extensive second reading speech which outlines all the important things. I commend this bill to the House.

Question agreed to.

Bill read a second time.
