I move:

Excise Tariff Proposal (No. 1) 2025; and

Customs Tariff Proposal (No. 1) 2025.

The proposals that I have tabled propose amendments to the Excise Tariff Act 1921 to pause biannual indexation on draft beer excise and to amend the Customs Tariff Act 1995 to pause biannual indexation on the customs duty that applies to those goods where they are imported into Australia. The government committed to these measures in the 2025-26 budget to take pressure off the price of a beer poured in pubs, clubs and other venues, supporting businesses, regional tourism and customers across Australia. The proposals pause biannual indexation applying to the excise and customs duty on draft beer for two years starting 1 August 2025. Biannual indexation will then recommence from 1 August 2027.

Debate adjourned.
