Statement by the Clerk of the Senate pursuant to the order of the Senate of 26 June 2000

The Senate has long accepted that an amendment should take the form of a request if it would have the effect of increasing expenditure under a standing appropriation. If it is correct that these amendments require the Commissioner of Taxation to refund amounts payable from a standing appropriation, it is in accordance with the precedents of the Senate that the amendments be moved as requests.

These amendments extend the com­mencement date from 1 July 2010 to 1 July 2011. This particular issue is one that has been of significant contention right throughout the process and one that the opposition suggested should occur from the outset of the discussion of this legislation. Unfortunately the minister, in the initial stage, was not prepared to consider this but, of course, the passing of time that we have all discussed and noted since the legislation was first put into the chamber has effectively necessitated the fact that this date should be changed. I do note that we have gone past the second commencement date as well but, given that we both agree that these amend­ments should be passed, I think that we might as well get on with that. Even though the opposition does not support the legislation as it stands for the reasons I stated earlier in the second reading debate, these amendments should be passed as part of this process.
