I move:

That the bill be now read a second time.

The Aged Care (Accommodation Payment Security) Levy Amendment (Norfolk Island) Bill 2015 relates to the imposition of levies in respect of certain obligations to refund accommodation payment balances, and for related purposes.

This bill is part of the broader Norfolk Island reform package, which implements the government's election commitment to fully apply mainland taxation and social security to Norfolk Island.

I commend the bill to the House.

Debate adjourned.
