Customs Tariff Amendment (Incorporation of Proposals) Bill (No. 1) 2026

The PRESIDENT (14:00): I'll now deal with the Customs Tariff Amendment (Incorporation of Proposals) Bill (No. 1) 2026. I'll begin with the second reading amendment circulated by One Nation. The question is that the amendment on sheet 3919 be agreed to.

One Nation 's circulated amendments— At the end of the motion, add ", but the Senate: (a) notes that: (i) the Australian timber market is becoming a dumping ground for inferior timber, often from China and containing Russian timber, (ii) the timber industry is Australia's sixth largest manufacturing sector, (iii) Australian timber jobs and businesses, primarily located in regional areas, are at risk from this dumping of inferior imported timber, and (iv) Australia is in the middle of a housing crisis and COVID-19 showed that we cannot rely on imported timber, demonstrating the need for Australia to become self-sufficient in timber and wood products; and (b) calls on the Government to: (i) protect the Australian timber industry from dumped imports; and (ii) introduce country of origin labelling so Australians can make an informed choice about where their timber comes from".
