Division
Julie Collins I thank those members who contributed to the debate, particularly the members from this side, who, I know, are very passionate about this part of policy. As I said in my contribution on the second reading, there are some aspects of this bill that Labor is prepared to support—those amendments that more closely align the date of noncompliance to penalties and/or suspensions—but we are not prepared to support some of the harsher measures in this bill that could further disadvantage vulnerable job seekers. Labor is looking forward to the report on this bill from the Senate committee in late November and the evidence from stakeholders on how they believe the bill will operate. I am pleased to hear the minister's comments that the government is seriously looking at the amendments that Labor has put forward and will negotiate with Labor on the bill. Given that Labor will not be supporting some of the harsher measures, which we believe will not assist job seekers, I seek leave to move amendments (1) to (19), as circulated in my name, together. Leave granted. I move opposition amendments (1) to (19) together: (1) Schedule 1, items 10 to 16, page 4 (line 25) to page 5 (line 31), omit the items. (2) Schedule 1, item 18, page 6 (lines 7 to 12), omit the item, substitute: 18 Paragraph 42SA(1)(c) Repeal the paragraph. (3) Schedule 1, item 19, page 6 (line 15), omit "Note 1", substitute "Note". (4) Schedule 1, item 19, page 6 (line 16), omit note 2. (5) Schedule 1, item 22, page 7 (table item 1), omit the table item. (6) Schedule 1, item 22, page 8 (table item 6), omit the table item. (7) Schedule 1, item 31, page 9 (lines 13 to 15), omit the item. (8) Schedule 1, item 34, page 9 (line 24) to page 10 (line 10), omit the item. (9) Schedule 1, item 35, page 10 (lines 14 and 15), omit "or to entry into employment pathway plans". (10) Schedule 1, item 36, page 10 (lines 18 and 19), omit "or to entry into employment pathway plans". (11) Schedule 1, items 38 and 39, page 1
