I move:

That the bill be now read a second time.

The Private Health Insurance (Risk Equalisation Levy) Amendment (Norfolk Island) Bill 2015 relates to the broader Norfolk Island reform legislative package which is being implemented through the Norfolk Island Legislation Reform Bill 2015.

The Private Health Insurance (Risk Equalisation Levy) Act imposes a risk equalisation levy on private health insurers, and for related purposes.

The act is part of the private health insurance arrangements which exist on mainland Australia, which are to be extended to Norfolk Island through the Norfolk Island Legislation Reform Bill 2015.

I commend the bill to the House.

Debate adjourned.
