The question is that this bill be now read a second time.

A division having been called and the bells having been rung—

As there are fewer than five members on the side for the noes in this division, I declare the question resolved in the affirmative in accordance with standing order 127. The names of those members who are in the minority will be recorded in the Votes and Proceedings.

Question agreed to, Mr Bandt and Mr Wilkie voting no.

I have received a message from his excellency the Governor-General recommending in accordance with section 56 of the Constitution an appropriation for the purposes of this bill. Is leave granted for the third reading to be moved immediately?

Leave granted.
