The Hon. M.J. ATKINSON (Croydon—Attorney-General, Minister for Justice, Minister for Multicultural Affairs, Minister for Veterans' Affairs) (16:52): I move:

That this bill be now read a third time.

Given the brevity of the member for Bragg's contribution on the second reading, I took that to be acquiescence as the member for Bragg goes.
