I very much appreciate the support from the Labor Party. Can I say that primary industries levies have been a very vexed issue for everyone. For people in the industry it is pretty hard going, so if they're ever having to pay a levy they want to make sure that it goes to something important, that it is spent very efficiently, usually in the area of research and development. I commend everybody who's been involved in the Primary Industries Levies and Charges Collection Amendment Bill 2018. I move:
That the bill be now read a second time.
Question agreed to.
Bill read a second time.
