This bill is further evidence of the government's commitment to reduce regulatory burdens and unnecessary costs on business. The reforms in this bill will boost the development of Australia's retail corporate bond market by reducing costs for bond issuers and giving company directors more certainty. I thank Senator Singh for her eloquent contribution and commend the bill to the Senate.

Question agreed to.

Bill read a second time.
