I move:
That this bill be now read a second time.
Cory Bernardi SA, Liberal Party, Shadow Parliamentary Secretary for Disabilities, Carers and the Voluntary Sector
I shall be brief because we have visited this legislation before. The coalition stands by its previous comments in that we have grave concerns about the watering down of the compliance measures and mutual obligation requirements for employment services. No doubt there will be some amendments moved during the committee stage and we will have a further contribution to make in that regard.
Question agreed to.
Bill read a second time.
