42MESSAGE FROM THE SENATE—Treasury Laws Amendment (Responsible Buy Now Pay Later and Other Measures) Bill 2024

Message No. 385, 28 November 2024, from the Senate was reported returning the Treasury Laws Amendment (Responsible Buy Now Pay Later and Other Measures) Bill 2024 with amendments.

- 7:03:00 AM

Statement by Speaker

The Speaker made the following statement:

It is my duty to draw to the attention of the House, the fact that the Senate amendments conveyed by this message raise an important point of constitutional principle.

Proposed amendment (13) will have the effect of expanding the definition of ‘build to rent capital works deduction amount’ to include additional amounts. Proposed amendment (14) will have the effect of expanding the definition of ‘build to rent withholding amount’ to include additional amounts. Proposed Senate amendments (9) to (12) and (15) are consequential on proposed amendments (13) and (14).

If enacted, proposed amendments (13) and (14) will increase some entities’ liability to build to rent development misuse tax, and amendments for such changes are covered by section 53 of the Constitution.

In terms of the test that the House has used, as referred to in House of Representatives Practice, what are the probable, expected or intended practical consequences of the proposed amendments? In essence, the advice to me is that Senate amendments (13) and (14) increase a ‘charge or burden on the people’ and are contrary to the requirements of section 53 of the Constitution. Thus, amendments (13) and (14) should have been made to the House as requested amendments.

The matter for consideration is not so much one of the privileges and rights between the two Houses, but observance of the requirements of the Constitution itself concerning the powers of the Houses. However, issues to do with section 53 of the Constitution have been matters of difference between the Houses since the early years of Federation. House of Representatives Practice lists bills in relation to which Senate amendments were questioned on this ground, although an example from 12 February 2019 is too recent to be included. On that occasion, Speaker Smith made a statement to the House which was very similar to my statement today.

I now leave it in the hands of the House as to how it wishes to proceed.

- 7:03:47 AM

Mr Burke (Leader of the House) moved—That:

(1)the House endorses the statement of the Speaker in relation to the constitutional questions raised by Senate message in respect of the Treasury Laws Amendment (Responsible Buy Now Pay Later and Other Measures) Bill 2024;

(2)the House, having regard to the public interest in the early enactment of the bill, refrains from the determination of its constitutional rights in respect of the matter; and

(3)the amendments be considered immediately.

- 7:04:13 AM

Question—put and passed.

- 7:04:20 AM

On the motion of Mr Burke, the amendments were agreed to.
