PLIBERSEK (—) (): I thank the member for North Sydney for these amendments. The government supports these amendments. The bill requires reports to be published by the Clean Energy Regulator and the secretary of the department of the environment to support the transparency of the scheme. These amendments would require these two sorts of reports to be also tabled in the parliament: an annual report on the activities of the regulator in relation to the nature repair market, and a report about any purchasing activity under the bill by the secretary of the environment department.

I thank the member for North Sydney for the amendment and I commend it to the House.

Question agreed to.
