I move:

That this bill be now read a third time.

We had hoped that this could be repaired in committee. If the Lambie amendment had been adopted, we would have supported this bill because it would have done clear good. But for the reasons we made clear, in particular, the veto being given to security agencies—you only get one chance to fix this kind of legislation, and this bill is not doing what's needed, so we won't be supporting the third reading.

The question before the chair is the third reading of the Royal Commissions Legislation Amendment (Protections for Providing Information) Bill 2026.
