Mr COSTELLO (Treasurer) (4:23 PM) —I move:

That the bill be now read a second time.

This bill, the Fuel Sales Grants (Consequential Amendments) Bill 2000, is the third of the package of three bills that are required to implement the fuel sales grants scheme.

This bill will amend the Taxation Administration Act 1953 to ensure that the provisions which apply generally to acts administered by the Commissioner of Taxation will apply appropriately to the new grants and benefits laws. These provisions include those relating to prosecutions and offences, the general interest charge and the collection and recovery of tax-related liabilities.

The provisions of this bill are to commence at the same time as those in the Fuel Sales Grants Bill.

Full details of the measures in the bill are contained in the already presented explanatory memorandum.

I commend the bill to the House.

Debate (on motion by Mr Brereton) adjourned.
