I move opposition amendment (1) circulated in my name:

(1) Schedule 3, item 2, page 90 (line 13), omit "1 July 2017", substitute "1 July 2018".

There is no need to add to my earlier remarks. I have articulated why Labor believes the bill should be amended so as to change the start date from 1 July 2017 to 1 July 2018.

The government will support Labor's amendment. We're essentially just doing so in the interests of obtaining bipartisan support for this bill. The bill contains the important tax integrity measures I've just outlined. It forms part of our comprehensive approach to multinational tax avoidance and, of course, the changes in relation to supporting our film industry.

Question agreed to.

Bill, as amended, agreed to.
