Labor opposes the Greens amendments to the Offshore Petroleum and Greenhouse Gas Storage Amendment (Miscellaneous Amendments) Bill 2019. Firstly, the bill should commence when the bill has passed. We see absolutely no advantage in delaying it any further. Secondly, the 'frontier areas' inclusion in the bill fixes past omissions, as I said yesterday in my contribution on the second reading, and does not affect the revenue.

The CHAIR: The question is that schedule 17 stand as printed.

Question agreed to.

The CHAIR: That means that amendment (1) drops away.

Bills agreed to.

Bills reported without amendments or requests; report adopted.
