I thank Senator Allison for her contribution. The Australian Energy Market Amendment (Gas Legislation) Bill 2006 will facilitate the development of a cooperative national approach to regulating access to gas pipeline infrastructure by applying the National Gas Law in the Commonwealth’s jurisdiction. This bill has the full support of all state and territory energy ministers, through the Ministerial Council on Energy. I would like to thank senators for their support of the bill and commend the bill to the Senate.

Question agreed to.

Bill read a second time.
