I will first deal with the second reading amendment circulated by Senator David Pocock. The question is that the second reading amendment on sheet 2259 be agreed to.

Senator David Pocock's circulated amendment—

At the end of the motion, add ", but the Senate:

(a) commits to diminishing the political influence of the online wagering industry, in the interests of protecting Australians and harm reduction strategies from industry influence; and

(b) calls on all politicians and all political parties to stop accepting political donations from the online wagering industry and revoke any passes that they have sponsored for members of the industry, and their agents, to access Parliament House".
