Superseded “28-2a Second Reading of the Income Tax Rates Amendment (A Fair Tax System) (Corporations Tax Changes) Bill 2015
Debate is hereby resumed on the motion: that the bill be read a second time. As the Minister's second reading speech was deferred in a previous sitting, the Honourable Assistant Treasurer now has the call to make his second reading speech.
The second reading speech will serve as the beginning of debate, in which all Senators may speak only once, excepting the Minister, who may speak twice, once for his second reading speech, and once as a right of reply to close debate.
I refer Senators to the text of the bill.
This debate will conclude at 10am, Tuesday 8 December, or when the Minister makes his reply.
Senator the Hon. Freddy926,
President of the Senate
