Social Security and Other Legislation Amendment (Technical Changes No. 2) Bill 2025

Senator ALLMAN-PAYNE (Queensland) (10:49): I move: That the House of Representatives be requested to make the following amendment: (1) Schedule 3, item 2, page 31 (line 21), omit "20 September 2003", substitute "1 July 1991". Statement pursuant to the order of the Senate of 26 June 2000 Amendment (1) Amendment (1) is framed as a request because it amends the bill to increase the period during which debts may relate for resolution payments under the Income Apportionment Resolution Scheme.

This expands eligibility for resolution payments, in turn increasing expenditure under the appropriation proposed by Schedule 4 to the bill. Statement by the Clerk of the Senate pursuant to the order of the Senate of 26 June 2000 Amendment (1) If the effect of the amendment is to increase expenditure under the standing appropriation proposed by Schedule 4 to the bill, then it is in accordance with the precedents of the Senate that the amendment be moved as a request.

The TEMPORARY CHAIR ( Senator Chandler ): The question is that the Greens request for an amendment on sheet 3490 be agreed to.
