I move:

That this bill be now read a second time.

We are reintroducing this bill due to Senate obstruction, and I refer to the minister’s previous second reading speech on this bill.

This bill provides for the appropriation of funds to various measures announced as part of the government’s Nation Building and Jobs Plan. Full details of the measures in this bill are contained in the explanatory memorandum.
