The question is that the second reading amendment moved by Senator Shoebridge be agreed to.

Senator Thorpe, I understand you foreshadowed in the second reading debate that you were moving an amendment. Now is the moment at which you might do that if you still wish to proceed that way.

I move the motion standing in my name on sheet 2966:

Omit all words after "That", substitute:

"(a) the Senate notes the significant human rights concerns raised by the Parliamentary Joint Committee on Human Rights (PJCHR) in relation to this bill, which remain unresolved, including recommendations that foundational human rights assessments be conducted of the:

(i) Crimes Act 1914,

(ii) Proceeds of Crime Act 2002, and

(iii) Telecommunications (Interception and Access) Act 1979, with particular focus on the right to privacy;

(b) the Senate calls on the PJCHR to exercise its function under section 7 of the Human Rights (Parliamentary Scrutiny) Act 2011 to examine laws for compatibility with human rights and examine the above Acts that the bill seeks to amend and report to both Houses of the Parliament on their compatibility with human rights; and

(c) further consideration of the bill be made an order of the day for the first sitting day after the PJCHR has presented a report of its examination of the above Acts to the Senate".
