I gave some comments on this legislation when summing up the previous bill. These two pieces of legislation—the Broadcasting Legislation Amendment (Convergence Review and Other Measures) Bill 2013 and the Television Licence Fees Amendment Bill 2013—essentially stand together, which is why we have had a cognate debate. I thank all members for their contributions to the debate. It is my understanding that this will be one that will go through with the unanimous support of the House, and I thank all those who have contributed.

Question agreed to.

Bill read a second time.
