In accordance with the resolution agreed to earlier today, the question now is that the remaining stages of the bill, including the government amendment as circulated, be agreed to.

The government amendment read as follows—

(1)    Schedule 1, item 77, page 23 (after line 26), after subsection 30D(4), insert:

     (4A)    In considering whether the outcomes referred to in paragraphs (1)(b) and (c) were or were not the result of a gaming arrangement, the Regulator must have regard to any matter prescribed by the regulations for the purposes of this subsection.

Mr Deputy Speaker, I repeat my earlier—

It is impossible. We are now voting on an amendment that has not been considered by the House.

Ian Causley

Ian Causley Deputy-Speaker

The member for Grayndler will resume his seat. The amendment is in order and, I have to say, is in accordance with hundreds of precedents of this House.

Question agreed to.

Bill read a third time.
