by leave—I move amendments (4) and (5) on sheet EK131 together:

[HELP repayment thresholds]

(4) Schedule 1, item 3, page 7 (line 1 to the end of the table), subsection 1061ZZFD(4) to be opposed.

[SFSS repayment thresholds]

(5) Schedule 1, item 6, page 8 (line 17 to the end of the table), subsection 12ZLC(4) to be opposed.

Just very quickly, these are again technical amendments that relate to the revised start date that the Senate has largely just adopted. The legislation was originally drafted containing some transitional provisions for one year in relation to how the HECS-HELP scheme interacted with other repayment arrangements and student support schemes, and the application of the new 1 July 2019 start date means that those clauses are no longer required.

The TEMPORARY CHAIR: The question is that subsection 1061ZZFD(4) in item 3 and subsection 12ZLC(4) in item 6 of schedule 1 stand as printed.

Question negatived.
