I move the second reading amendment standing in my name:

At the end of the motion, add ", but the Senate calls on the Government to:

(a) ensure that early childhood education and care is universal, free and high-quality across Australia; and

(b) commit to fully funding the outcomes of the Fair Work Commission's gender pay equity research project, including ensuring that educators continue to receive funded pay rises after the 2-year period of the grant program proposed in this bill".
