I thank my colleagues for their contributions on the debate on this bill. The bill will update, improve and clarify the intended operation of key provisions to support the proper administration of government, law enforcement, regulatory, oversight and judicial processes. This will improve outcomes for non-Commonwealth-government stakeholders, such as members of the public who come into contact with the judicial system; international partners; and state and territory governments. The Crimes and Other Legislation Amendment (Omnibus) Bill 2023 will support the proper administration of regulatory, law enforcement, oversight, and judicial processes. By making small and clarifying amendments, the bill will streamline and enhance the everyday work of government agencies, improving their ability to deliver outcomes for the Australian community.

Question agreed to.

Bill read a second time.

Ordered that this bill be reported to the House without amendment.
