Mr ANOULACK CHANTHIVONG (Macquarie Fields—Minister for Better Regulation and Fair Trading, Minister for Industry and Trade, Minister for Innovation, Science and Technology, Minister for Building, and Minister for Corrections) (15:17): Before I commence with my contribution to the second reading debate, I foreshadow that I will move six amendments to the bill during the consideration in detail stage. The amendments will remove clause 22B from the bill, which would have prohibited secret rent bidding, following the select committee's consideration of that clause. This will ensure that the remaining important amendments can be considered by the Parliament very quickly. I look forward to hearing members' contributions in today's debate.
