I move:

That this bill be now read a second time.

The purpose of this bill is to ensure the hazardous waste permit scheme can be fully cost recovered. The Bill introduces a flat rate levy on permit applications.

These amendments support the cost recovery amendments introduced in the Hazardous Waste (Regulation of Export and Imports) Amendment Bill 2016.

Debate adjourned.
