I move:

That this bill be now read a second time.

This bill is part of a package of bills, which I referred to in the previous second reading speech, that amend the Clean Energy Act 2011 and related acts.

The bill facilitates the removal of the price floor by removing the requirement for a minimum auction reserve charge from the Clean Energy (Charges—Excise) Act 2011.

I commend the bill to the House.

Debate adjourned.
