I move the following amendment to Senator Gallagher's proposed amendment:
"13 November 2017", substitute "16 October 2017".
The government sees this as a very important piece of legislation. We recognise the desire of the Senate to have this referred to a committee for inquiry, but we seek, obviously, a shorter time frame in which that work can happen. I think we all now recognise that the Medicare levy bill is going to the Economics Legislation Committee, not the Community Affairs Legislation Committee, which has been acknowledged by Senator Siewert.
