by leave—I move Australian Greens amendments (1) and (3) on sheet 5878:

(1)    Clause 2, page 2 (table item 2), omit the table item, substitute:

2. Schedule 1, Parts 1 and 2

The 28th day after the day on which this Act receives the Royal Assent.

2A.  Schedule 1, Part 3

1 July 2012.

1 July 2012

(3)   Schedule 1, page 11 (after line 5), at the end of the Schedule, add:

Part 3—Amendment relating to facility reporting threshold

38  Subparagraph 13(1)(d)(i)

Omit “25 kilotonnes”, substitute “10 kilotonnes”.

39  Subparagraphs 13(1)(d)(ii) and (iii)

Omit “100 terajoules”, substitute “40 terajoules”.

As I indicated in my second reading remarks, this is about reducing the threshold at which facilities are required to report. As I indicated, the government has set that at 25,000 tonnes. The Greens think it should be less than that, 10,000 tonnes, consistent with, as I said, more rigorous reporting frameworks being applied elsewhere. As I indicated, all emissions above one kilotonne must be accounted for under the European emissions trading scheme in terms of liable entities. I would like to see a more rigorous threshold in Australia, and I have so moved.
