Second Reading

I make the point that this is consistent with the recommendations of coalition senators and is in the context of the Minister for Health and Ageing’s second reading speech where she raised the concern that, if this measure were defeated, the revenue collected so far would have to be returned to the alcopops industry. Of course, this is not the intention of the opposition, which is why I have moved on behalf of the opposition the amendment standing in my name.
