I will now deal with the second reading amendment circulated by the Australian Greens.

Australian Greens' circulated amendment—

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

(a) notes that the major parties have been given more than $10 million by gambling companies and lobby groups;

(b) acknowledges that these political inducements being funnelled into the two major parties by the gambling lobby has bought the gambling industry significant influence throughout the debate on these bills;

(c) notes that this level of vested interests in politics is corrosive to our democracy; and

(d) calls on the Government to ban all political donations from the gambling industry".

The question is that the amendment on sheet 4009 be agreed to.
