I thank all of those senators who made a contribution to this debate. The Consumer Credit Legislation Amendment (Enhancements) Bill 2012 continues the government's commitment to ensuring that all Australians get a fair deal when they use credit. In particular, this bill is aimed at ensuring that vulnerable consumers, such as some seniors or those on low incomes or people who find themselves in financial hardship, are adequately protected when they borrow money. I commend the bill to the Senate.

Question agreed to.

Bill read a second time.
