I thank Senator Joyce for his contribution in the second reading debate. The Water Efficiency Labelling and Standards Amendment Bill 2010 was prompted by the House of Representatives Standing Committee on Environment and Heritage, which issued its report Managing the flow: regulating plumbing product quality in Australia. It is about providing water saving cost-effectiveness and deals with the ability of the scheme to aim at conserving water supplies by reducing water consumption, providing information for purchasers about water use and water-saving products, and promoting the adoption of efficient and effective water use and water-saving products. It does this by requiring registration and efficiency labelling of specified products when they are offered for sale. It is also able to set minimum water-efficiency standards. With that contribution, I commend the bill to the Senate.

Question agreed to.

Bill read a second time.
