I wish to advise the Committee that I will not be proceeding with my request on sheet 7955 revised and I seek leave to move requests (1) and (2) young on sheet 7949, revised, together.

Leave granted.

I move:

(1) Schedule 1, item 6, page 5 (line 15) omit "19%", substitute "10.5%".

(2) Schedule 1, item 7, page 5 (table item 1), omit "19%", substitute "10.5%".

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

These amendments are framed as requests because they are to a bill which imposes taxation within the meaning of section 53 of the Constitution. The Senate may not amend a bill imposing taxation. These amendments should therefore be moved as requests.

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

As this is a bill imposing taxation within the meaning of section 53 of the Constitution, any Senate amendment to the bill must be moved as a request. This is in accordance with the precedents of the Senate.

I recommend these amendments to the Senate.
