in reply—Thank you to the senators who have contributed to the debate on the Energy Efficiency Opportunities Amendment Bill 2006. I hope that we can see agreement on this bill, which makes amendments to the Energy Efficiency Opportunities Act 2006 to correct a small number of technical problems. These amendments will properly align the act with the original policy intent and improve its administration. They are consistent with the explanatory memorandum to the Energy Efficiency Opportunities Act 2006 and the obligations as set out in the Energy Efficiency Opportunities Regulations 2006 and the Energy Efficiency Opportunities industry guidelines. The amendments will enable the Energy Efficiency Opportunities program to be delivered as originally intended, ensuring that industry is not disadvantaged, and will assist in its administration. I commend the bill to the Senate.

Debate (on motion by Senator Colbeck) adjourned.
