():

I move:

That this bill be now read a second time.

The Education Services for Overseas Students (TPS Levies) Bill 2011 contains necessary provisions to implement the new annual TPS Levies framework which will underpin the new ESOS tuition protection architecture.

The TPS levies arrangements contained in this bill will take effect from the commencement of the Education Services for Overseas Students Legislation Amendment (Tuition Protection Service and Other Measures) Bill. This will mean that the first annual TPS levy will be applied in 2013. I commend the bill to the House.

Debate adjourned.
