Senator RUSTON (South AustraliaMinister for Families and Social Services, Minister for Women's Safety and Manager of Government Business in the Senate) (13:22): The Offshore Petroleum and Greenhouse Gas Storage Amendment (Titles Administration and Other Measures) Bill 2021 and the associated bill amend the Offshore Petroleum and Greenhouse Gas Storage Act 2006 to strengthen Australia's offshore oil and gas regulatory regime. The bills strike an appropriate balance between implementing regulatory safeguards for Australian taxpayers, managing the impost on industry and encouraging continued investment in oil and gas development. I thank senators for the contribution they have made to these bills, and I commend the bills to the chamber.

The ACTING DEPUTY PRESIDENT ( Senator Chandler ): The question is that the second reading amendment moved by Senator Brown be agreed to.

Question negatived.

The ACTING DEPUTY PRESIDENT: An Australian Greens amendment was foreshadowed by Senator Waters in her contribution. Senator Hanson-Young, would you be able to move that second reading amendment on Senator Waters's behalf?
