I move:

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

"whilst not declining to give the bill a second reading:

(1) notes that:

(a) the 2024-25 Budget allocated $22.7 billion in taxpayer funds to the Future Made in Australia program;

(b) this is the second largest Budget measure announced in this term of Parliament; and

(c) concerns have been raised by the Productivity Commission, the Grattan Institute, the Climate Council of Australia, BP Australia, and the Australian Chamber of Commerce and Industry that the Bill contains inadequate transparency measures to ensure Australians know how their money is being spent on Future Made in Australia supports;

(2) recognises that my Accountability of Grants, Investment Mandates and Use of Public Resources Amendment (End Pork Barrelling) Bill 2024 provides the necessary framework to help ensure the Government's spending of taxpayer money to deliver the Future Made in Australia plan is transparent and fair; and

(3) calls on the Government to support my Accountability of Grants, Investment Mandates and Use of Public Resources Amendment (End Pork Barrelling) Bill 2024".
