I move:

That this bill be now read a second time.

The Primary Industries (Consequential Amendments and Transitional Provisions) Bill 2023 forms part of a package of bills to streamline and modernise the agricultural levies legislative framework.

The bill will facilitate a smooth transition to the new agricultural levies legislation, including for levy collection and disbursement arrangements and payment of matching funding to research and development corporations.

This bill will repeal 23 existing acts that are, or will become, redundant upon commencement of the bills package. It will also make consequential amendments to a number of other acts.

Debate adjourned.
