I move:

At the end of the motion, add:

"and

(a) in respect of the Family Assistance Legislation Amendment (Building on the Child Care Package) Bill 2019, the provisions of the bill be referred immediately to the Education and Employment Legislation Committee for inquiry and report by 11 October 2019;

(b) in respect of the Currency (Restrictions on the Use of Cash) Bill 2019, contingent upon the introduction of the bill in the House of Representatives, the provisions of the bill be referred immediately to the Economics Legislation Committee for inquiry and report by 7 February 2020."

This amendment seeks to extend reporting dates for two pieces of legislation: the Family Assistance Legislation Amendment (Building on the Child Care Package) Bill 2019 and the Currency (Restrictions on the Use of Cash) Bill 2019. Both of these bills, we believe, warrant a longer reporting date than the government has so far agreed to.

Question agreed to.

Original question, as amended, agreed to.
