I present a supplementary explanatory memorandum to the bill. I ask leave of the House to move government amendments (1) to (3) as circulated together.

Leave granted.

I move government amendments (1) to (3) as circulated together:

(1) Schedule 1, item 209, page 35 (line 3), omit "80F, 86, 95, 96B and 99", substitute "80, 87, 96, 100 and 104".

(2) Schedule 2, item 8, page 36 (line 20), omit "(6)", substitute "(7)".

(3) Schedule 2, item 10, page 36 (line 24), omit "(6)", substitute "(7)".

For the benefit of the House, I'm moving government amendments to the Emergency Response Fund Amendment (Disaster Ready Fund) Bill 2022. These amendments are minor technical corrections and cross-references that are necessary to ensure the bill operates as intended. In the drafting process a number of errors occurred as an oversight. Renumbering the bill will fix those. Certain references were not correctly renumbered, essentially, as the bill was changed as it was drafted. The amendments fix incorrect references to ensure the bill has intended effects. There are no other changes to aspects of the substantive portions of the bill and they don't have any financial impacts.

Bill agreed to.
