I thank senators for their contributions. Senator Moore has very clearly articulated the measures within the bill and I thank her for her comments. I do stress the point that there will be regular reviews of the measure, as she expressed the concern. With respect to Senator Xenophon's comments, it needs to be understood that this is a capped scheme and the more that is taken out in the sample section means there is less for other players. A very small component of the scheme has been claiming over that mark—about four per cent. I understand his concern and I am quite happy to continue to receive his representations with respect to those concerns. Again, I thank senators for their contributions. I commend the bill to the Senate.

Question agreed to.

Bill read a second time.
