I move:

That this bill be now read a second time.

The consequential amendments to these acts enable the effective operation of the Future Drought Fund at commencement, including the abolition of the Building Australia Fund.

Commencement and further details can be found in the explanatory memorandum. I commend the bill to the House.

Debate adjourned.
