I want to make it clear that One Nation is 100 per cent opposed to the changes to the responsible lending laws proposed in the National Consumer Credit Protection Amendment (Supporting Economic Recovery) Bill 2020, and I am on the public record in that regard.

One Nation has made it clear to the Greens that we had forwarded instructions, and, in fact, have now received the first extensive draft amendments which delete any reference in the bill excluding banks from their current statutory or regulatory obligations. We do recognise that there are other provisions of the bill which we, in part, have also proposed to amend to enhance the protection for consumers. One Nation has advised the Greens accordingly, and requested they defer this notice pending the circulation of our draft amendments to the bill. For the above reasons, One Nation will not support this motion.
