My second reading amendment has been distributed in the chamber, as on sheet 1111. I move:

Omit all words after "That", insert:

", the bill be withdrawn; and

(a) The Senate notes that:

(i) the bill as drafted creates a significant new scheme with wide-ranging implications;

(ii) no public consultation process was undertaken on an exposure draft bill and there was no regulatory impact statement prepared prior to the introduction of the bill; and

(iii) stakeholders have raised a range of concerns about lack of consultation, the compliance burden and impact of this bill; and

(b) The Senate calls on the Government to undertake more extensive consultation with the wide range of stakeholders impacted by this proposed legislation".
