I thank Senator Brandis and Senator Ludlam for their contributions during the second reading debate on the Service and Execution of Process Amendment (Interstate Fine Enforcement) Bill 2010. The new scheme will be beneficial to the Commonwealth and the states and territories. It will overcome the problems that currently plague the system in recognising and enforcing interstate court imposed fines by making the new schemes simpler and more efficient. With those few words, I commend the bill to the Senate.

Question agreed to.

Bill read a second time.
