Mr SLIPPER (Parliamentary Secretary to the Minister for Finance and Administration) (12:20 PM)
—I present a supplementary explanatory memorandum to the bill and move government amendment No. 1:
(1) Schedule 1, item 2, page 3 (line 10), omit “1 July 2001.”, substitute:
1 July 2001, unless:
(a) the person departs using a ticket or equivalent authority; and
(b) the ticket or authority was sold or issued before 1 July 2001.
This amendment to the bill addresses concerns raised by airlines in respect of the passenger movement charge on tickets already sold or issued for travel on or after 1 July this year. Airlines have indicated to the government that they have already sold several hundred thousand tickets for departures on or after 1 July and have only collected the current amount of the passenger movement charge—that is, $30.
The government recognises that it would not be cost-effective or practical for the airlines to collect the additional $8. There is one amendment: an amendment to exempt certain departures from Australia on or after 1 July from the increase in the passenger movement charge to $38. These are departures that are made by a person using a ticket or equivalent authority where the ticket authority was sold or issued before 1 July 2001. I am pleased to commend the government amendment to the main committee.
Amendment agreed to.
Bill, as amended, agreed to.
Ordered that the bill be reported to the House with an amendment.
