The question is that the second reading amendment on sheet 1996 be agreed to.

Australian Greens' circulated second reading amendment—

At the end of the motion, add ", but the Senate:

(a) is of the opinion that:

(i) building a circular economy is a critical factor in tackling climate change,

(ii) voluntary measures and incentives have had limited success in promoting a circular economy, and

(iii) incentives for oil product stewardship will achieve 65% as the maximum feasible collection rate; and

(b) calls on the Government to:

(i) support mandatory design standards and national targets for product stewardship schemes; and

(ii) provide clarity on how the amendments to these bills and related legislation that impact product stewardship schemes, inform and support a circular economy trajectory".

Question negatived.

Once again, I ask that our support for that second reading amendment be noted, please. I won't call a division.

Original question agreed to.

Bills read a second time.
