I rise to sum up the debate in relation to the Combatting Child Sexual Exploitation Legislation Amendment Bill 2019. I've listened carefully to the debate in this chamber and I would like to thank my fellow colleagues for their contribution to what is, I believe, an incredibly important debate. As we have made very clear as a government, the protection of children is a key priority for this government. The sexual abuse of children must not be tolerated in any way, shape or form. The safety of our community, including its most vulnerable members, must be our first priority. In the interests of seeing this bill become law sooner rather than later, I commend the bill to the Senate.

Question agreed to.

Bill read a second time.
