by leave—I move my second reading amendment, as circulated in the chamber:

At the end of the motion, add:

", but the Senate:

(a) notes that the Legal and Constitutional Affairs Legislation Committee and the Joint Standing Committee on Foreign Affairs, Defence and Trade both recommended that an independent statutory officer be appointed to support the operation of the Modern Slavery Act; and

(b) calls on the Government to appoint an Independent Anti-Slavery Commissioner to support the operation of the Modern Slavery Act and coordinate Australia's broader response to modern slavery".

Question agreed to.
