The PRESIDENT (17:23): I will now deal with the second reading amendment circulated by the Australian Greens. Australian Greens' circulated amendment— At the end of the motion, add ", but the Senate: (a) notes that the major parties have been given more than $10 million by gambling companies and lobby groups; (b) acknowledges that these political inducements being funnelled into the two major parties by the gambling lobby has bought the gambling industry significant influence throughout the debate on these bills; (c) notes that this level of vested interests in politics is corrosive to our democracy; and (d) calls on the Government to ban all political donations from the gambling industry".

The PRESIDENT: The question is that the amendment on sheet 4009 be agreed to.
