by leave—I move Greens amendments (2) and (3) on sheet 5645 together:

(2)    Clause 120, page 93 (after line 9), after subclause (1), insert:

     (1A)    The BAF evaluation criteria must include criteria in relation to:

             (a)    climate change mitigation and adaptation and biodiversity conservation;

             (b)    preparation for the global oil production peak and expected decline in oil production.

(3)    Clause 120, page 93 (after line 9), after subclause (1), insert:

      (1B)    The BAF evaluation criteria must require Infrastructure Australia to include assessments of the greenhouse gas emission and oil consumption implications of a matter in any advice prepared by under subsection 116(1), 117(1), 118(1) or 119(1).

As I have addressed these amendments in my previous remarks, I ask that the question be put.

Question negatived.

I move Greens and opposition amendment (9) on sheet 5693:

(9)    Page 204 (after line 9), at the end of the bill, add:

Schedule 1—Amendment of other Acts

Infrastructure Australia Act 2008

1  At the end of section 5

Add:

        (6)    On receiving any advice or other document prepared by Infrastructure Australia under subsection (1) or (2), the Minister must cause a copy of the advice or other document, as the case may be, to be laid before each House of the Parliament within 3 sitting days of that House after the day on which the Minister receives the advice or other document, as the case may be.

This amendment adds a schedule which gives effect to the amendment that was passed earlier in relation to the joint house committee and the requirement for advice to be tabled.
