The time allotted for consideration of the Economic Inclusion Advisory Committee Bill 2023 has expired. I will now put the question required to conclude consideration of the bill. I will first deal with the second reading amendment circulated by the Australian Greens. The question is that the amendment on sheet 2293 be agreed to.

Australian Greens' circulated amendment—

At the end of the motion, add ", but the Senate calls on the Government to ensure that membership of the permanent Economic Inclusion Advisory Committee must include people with direct contemporary experience of poverty and sufficient representation of people most impacted by economic disadvantage including First Nations people, disabled people, women, and carers".
