~~by leave—I move:~~
~~That this bill be now read a third time.~~
It has been 20 years since we've talked about having a fuel efficiency standard in this country. We stand alongside Russia as the only advanced economy that does not have fuel a efficiency standard.

Order! The minister will pause. The minister is on her feet. She has been speaking for about 15 seconds. That is not the reason for everyone to start screaming and yelling. We're not having that.
~~The member for Barker. We will listen to the minister. The minister has the call.~~
~~Catherine King~~
Thank you very much, Mr Speaker. As I said, we have stood alongside Russia as one of the only advanced economies that does not have a fuel efficiency standard, so consumers in Australia are not getting the benefits of the most efficient vehicles, whether they be petrol vehicles, whether they be hybrid, whether they be electric vehicles or diesel vehicles like the one that I drive.

I move as an amendment to the motion before the House that the word 'now' be omitted and replaced with the word 'not', so the question would be 'that this bill be not read a third time'. The reason I move that—
~~Milton Dick~~
~~Just pause, I want to hear from the Leader of the House.~~
~~Tony Burke~~
~~I move:~~
~~That the question be put.~~
~~Milton Dick~~
~~The question before the House is the question be put.~~
