Very briefly, aviation security is a high priority, and this government continues to be responsive to changing threats to the Australian aviation industry. This bill makes amendments that are necessary to the Aviation Transport Security Act 2004 to better manage the vulnerability and the technical capability of aviation security screening points with respect to liquid explosive detection. Overall, this bill facilitates the screening for liquids, aerosols and gels necessary to protect Australians and the Australian aviation industry.

Question agreed to.

Bill read a second time.
