The question now is that the remaining stages of these bills be agreed to and these bills, as amended, be now passed.

Mr President, I seek leave to make a 30-second statement.

Leave granted.

This is just to put on the record that the coalition remains strongly opposed to these deeply flawed and conflicted bills. In the interests of assisting the Senate we will not be calling another division. This is to place on record that this legislation will unnecessarily increase red tape and costs for consumers and small business, which is why we are recording our opposition to it and our vote against it.

Question agreed to.

Bills read a third time.
