I will now deal with the Crimes and Other Legislation Amendment (Omnibus No. 1) Bill 2026.

I will put those questions first before dealing with the remaining amendments. I will begin with the amendments moved by Senator Shoebridge.

I will now deal with the amendments circulated by the Australian Greens on sheet 3791. The question is that schedule 2 stand as printed.

The Australian Greens' circulated amendments—

(2) Schedule 2, page 16 (line 1) to page 22 (line 12), to be opposed.

Sue Lines (President) | Link to this | Hansard source

As that matter was resolved in the affirmative, the consequential amendment on sheet 3791 will not be put. The question now is that the remaining stages of the bill be agreed to and the bill be now passed.
