At the request of Senator Fielding, I move Family First amendment (1) on sheet 4865:

(1)    Page 3, after line 11, after clause 3, add:

4 Review of operation of Act

        (1)    Within 2 years of the day on which this Act receives the Royal Assent, the Minister must conduct a review of the operation of the effectiveness and implications of the amendments made by this Act in increasing the propensity of equal parenting.

        (2)    The review required by subsection (1) is to be completed within 6 months of commencement.

        (3)    The Minister must cause a copy of the report of the review to be laid before each House of the Parliament within 5 sitting days of that House after the day on which the Minister receives the report.

I also seek leave for a statement from Senator Fielding in relation to this amendment to be incorporated in Hansard.

Leave granted.
