Firstly, congratulations, Mr Deputy President, on your election. The National Consumer Credit Protection Amend­ment (Home Loans and Credit Cards) Bill 2011 delivers on the government's election commitment to crack down on the unfair treatment of Australians with credit cards and to help them obtain a better deal with their credit card and home loans. I thank senators for their contributions and commend the bill to the Senate.

Question agreed to.

Bill read a second time.
