I move:

That this bill be now read a second time.

The Offshore Petroleum (Registration Fees) Act 2006 imposes fees for the registration under the Offshore Petroleum Act 2006 of transfers of petroleum titles and approvals of dealings in petroleum titles.

This bill amends the Offshore Petroleum (Registration Fees) Act 2006 by adding greenhouse gas titles to the titles in respect of which transfers and dealings will attract the imposition of registration fees.

I commend this bill to the House.

Debate (on motion by Mr Randall) adjourned.
