Description

  • <p class="speaker">Linda Reynolds</p>
  • <p>I move:</p>
  • <p class="italic">That these bills be now read a third time.</p>
  • The majority voted in favour of passing the bills. In parliamentary jargon, they voted to read the bills for a [third time](https://www.peo.gov.au/learning/fact-sheets/making-a-law.html). Since the bills have already passed in the House of Representatives, they'll now become law.
  • ### What do these bills do?
  • The two bills are:
  • * [Customs Amendment (Comprehensive and Progressive Agreement for Trans-Pacific Partnership Implementation) Bill 2018](https://parlinfo.aph.gov.au/parlInfo/search/display/display.w3p;query=Id:legislation/billhome/r6165); and
  • * [Customs Tariff Amendment (Comprehensive and Progressive Agreement for Trans-Pacific Partnership Implementation) Bill 2018](https://parlinfo.aph.gov.au/parlInfo/search/display/display.w3p;query=Id:legislation/billhome/r6166).
  • The bills were introduced to implement the [Comprehensive and Progressive Agreement for Trans-Pacific Partnership](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Comprehensive_and_Progressive_Agreement_for_Trans-Pacific_Partnership) (TPP-11). Their basic purpose is to implement the customs dimensions of the TPP-11 Agreement by making relevant amendments to the Customs Act 1901 and the Customs Tariff Act 1995.

  • <p class="speaker">Cory Bernardi</p>
  • <p>The question is that the bills be read a third time.</p>
