I table a supplementary explanatory memorandum relating to the government amendments to be moved to this bill and seek leave to move the government amendments (1) to (7) together.

Leave not granted.

I move amendments—

The CHAIRMAN: One at a time.

(5), (6) and (7) on sheet HV130 as minor technical amendments which will ensure the smooth and efficient implementation of the Emissions Reduction Fund. The amendments ensure consultation processes are not duplicated, while, at the same time, maintaining the important role of the Emissions Reduction Assurance Committee to undertake an assessment of the emissions reduction methods. The amendments will allow projects to go in quickly and participate in the Emissions Reduction Fund.

The CHAIRMAN: Before I put that, Senator Milne was on her feet. On a point of order, Senator Milne?
