I move:

That this bill be now read a second time.

Appropriation (Parliamentary Departments) Bill (No. 1) 2017-2018 provides appropriations for 2017-2018 for the operations of the Department of the Senate, the Department of the House of Representatives, the Department of Parliamentary Services and the Parliamentary Budget Office.

This bill seeks approval for appropriations from the consolidated revenue fund of just over $326 million. The Department of Parliamentary Services will receive just under $124 million to maintain the integrity and amenity of Parliament House. Details of the proposed expenditure are set out in the schedule to the bill and the portfolio budget statements tabled in the parliament.

Debate adjourned.
