Mr Billson (Minister for Veterans' Affairs and Minister Assisting the Minister for Defence)

I move:

That this bill be now read a second time.

I am pleased to present the Australian Participants in British Nuclear Tests (Treatment) (Consequential Amendments and Transitional Provisions) Bill 2006, which will make minor amendments to a number of other acts as a consequence of the Australian Participants in British Nuclear Tests (Treatment) Bill 2006. This bill will also make transitional provisions in relation to the commencement date for eligibility for treatment and travelling expenses. I commend the bill to the House.
