I move:

That this bill be now read a second time.

The Aviation Consumer Protection (Consequential Amendments and Transitional Provisions) Bill provides clarity that a breach by an airline of a standard in the Aviation Consumer Protections Charter will not result in the cancellation of a licence under the Air Navigation Act 1920.

The consequential bill also ensures a smooth transition from the current non-legislated Aircraft Noise Ombudsperson (ANO) in Airservices Australia to the new independent, statutory ANO arrangements.

I commend this bill to the House.

Debate adjourned.
