I move the second reading amendment as circulated on sheet 8924:

At the end of the motion, add:

", but the Senate:

(a) is of the opinion that the Government must ensure financial support provided to business under these bills come with conditions attached, including:

(i) a jobs guarantee, so that as many people as possible remain employed during the crisis,

(ii) a wages guarantee, so that money goes to workers who need it and to keep businesses running, not to executive pay, and

(iii) where appropriate, a Government stake in big, essential businesses such as Qantas; and

(b) calls on the Government to ensure that, if the Minister for Finance allocates additional amounts under the powers referred to as the Advance to the Finance Minister, the Auditor-General must complete a review into any expenditure no later than twelve months after the date of the final expenditure".
