I move:

That the bill be now read a second time.

The question is that that motion be agreed to. Those of that opinion say aye—

Just one moment. Senator Moore?

I ask where we are at here because my understanding is that we are moving into the CDEP process and I was the first speaker on the area. I am just wondering what administrative details the minister is moving at the moment.

I have been advised, Senator Moore, that the minister had to move the second reading again because the bill has now been restored to the Notice Paper. Senator Moore, I could continue to speak for another 15 or 20 seconds before we get to the adjournment, or I could give you the call.

After what happened last week in this place, I am very careful when anyone moves second readings over on that side of the chamber.

Thank you for that contribution, Senator Moore.

Senator McEwen interjecting—

Thank you for that suggestion, Senator McEwen, that I keep talking for another nine seconds, but I think I will draw my brief remarks to a conclusion.
