I move:

That this bill be now read a second time.

The government is delivering on its 2025-26 budget commitment to freeze the indexation on draught beer excise for two years.

The measure in this bill was previously moved as Customs Tariff Proposal (No. 1) 2025 on 24 July 2025.

Consistent with normal parliamentary practice, the customs tariff proposal now requires incorporation in the Customs Tariff Act.

This bill is complemented by the Excise Tariff Amendment (Draught Beer) Bill 2025.

Full details of the measure are contained in the explanatory memorandum.

Debate adjourned.
