I move the Australian Greens amendment on sheet 7679:

At the end of the motion, add:

  but the Senate calls on the Government to establish and resource Environmental Health Australia in the same manner as Plant Health Australia and Animal Health Australia, in order to establish a partnership between communities, governments and environmental organisations to focus on high priority policy and planning issues in environmental biosecurity.

This amendment relates to the establishment of Environmental Health Australia, a body which would be equivalent to Plant Health Australia and Animal Health Australia, in order to establish a better partnership with the community, governments and environmental organisations to get a better focus on environmental biosecurity.

Question negatived.

Original question agreed to.

Bills read a second time.
