Debate resumed from 12 April, on motion by Senator Ellison:

That these bills be now read a second time.

upon which Senator Evans had moved by way of amendment:

Omit the words after “That”, substitute “further consideration of the bills be an order of the day for the day after the day on which a report is tabled in the Senate of an independent inquiry established by the Government, after consulting the not-for-profit sector on membership and terms of reference, to:

(a) investigate and update the definitions of `public benevolent institution' and `charitable institution' for the purposes of tax law; and

(b) inquire into the appropriate taxation treatment of charitable and not-for-profit organisations and the public hospital sector”.
