I move:

That this bill be now read a second time.

We are reintroducing this bill due to Senate obstruction by the Liberal and National parties led by the Leader of the Opposition. I refer to the minister’s previous second reading speech on this bill.

This bill provides for consequential amendments to various acts in relation to the tax bonus payment provided for in the Tax Bonus for Working Australians Bill (No. 2) 2009. 

Full details of the measures in this bill are contained in the explanatory memorandum.
