Senator WONG (Minister for Climate Change and Water) (3:03 PM) —I move government amendment (17) on sheet BE242:

(17)  Clause 103, page 142 (line 16), omit “The Authority”, substitute “The Minister”.

This is, again, a technical amendment in relation to auctions of emissions units. It provides that the minister can make the legislative instruments to determine the policies, procedures and rules that apply to auctions. It also is an enabling clause to ensure that the government can deliver on its negotiated agreement with the opposition in relation to deferred payment, which was one part of the electricity sector amendments that were agreed.
