I move the second reading amendment standing in my name:

At the end of the motion, add:

                 “but the Senate is of the view that the private health insurance rebate should be abolished and that the funds should be redirected to the public health system”.

Question negatived.

Original question agreed to.

Bills read a second time.

Ordered that consideration of these bills in Committee of the Whole be made an order of the day for the next day of sitting.
