In accordance with the resolution agreed to earlier today, I put the question that the remaining stages of the bill, including the government amendments as circulated, be agreed to.

Mr Deputy Speaker, just to ensure there is no confusion—this is a cognate debate—I seek leave to incorporate into Hansard the amendments attached to this bill. I inform the Minister for Revenue and Assistant Treasurer that there is no stunt here. This is a cognate debate and the amendments I was seeking to have incorporated last time are the same amendments. I just want to make sure that they end up attached to the correct bill.
