I move:

That this bill be now read a second time.

The Seafarers Safety and Compensation Levies Collection Bill 2016 replaces the Seafarers Rehabilitation and Compensation Levy Collection Act 1992. The bill facilitates the collection of the seafarers insurance levy and cost recovery levy, as established by the Seafarers Safety and Compensation Levies Bill 2016. It requires Seacare employers to lodge returns and make levy payments each quarter.

Debate adjourned.
