Senator ELLISON (Minister for Justice and Customs) (11:11 AM) —This is good legislation. The Customs Tariff Amendment Bill (No. 2) 2003 and the Excise Tariff Amendment Bill (No. 1) 2003 deal with the import of ethanol and the local use of ethanol, bringing it into line with petrol. The legislation has been adequately canvassed by other senators. The previous return to order has been dealt with, we believe, in a satisfactory manner. I would urge the Senate to pass the bill without delay.

Question agreed to.
