Debate resumed from 26 October, on motion by Ms Roxon:

That this bill be now read a second time.

upon which Mr Dutton moved by way of amendment:

That all the words after “That” be omitted with a view to substituting the following words:“the House declines to give the bill a second reading until the following provisions are presented to the House for its consideration:

(1)

provisions establishing the Independent Hospital Pricing Authority, including its full functions and responsibilities; and

(2)

provisions establishing the National Performance Authority, including its full functions and responsibilities”.
