At the request of Senator Bob Brown, I move:

That the Senate declares its opposition to the rates of excise contained in the Excise Tariff Proposal No. 1 (2008) and the Customs Tariff Proposals No. 1 (2008) tabled in the House of Representatives on 13 May 2008 unless and until the Government tables in the Senate a comprehensive and costed plan of new action to address the $10 billion per annum problem of alcohol abuse in Australia.

Question agreed to.
