BILLS › Minerals Resource Rent Tax Repeal and Other Measures Bill 2013 [No. 2]
Senator MILNE (Tasmania—Leader of the Australian Greens) (21:39): On behalf of the Australian Greens, I move a second reading amendment: At the end of the motion, add " but the Senate calls on the Government to recognise that the benefits of the mining boom should be enjoyed by all Australian society by: (a) applying a 40 per cent tax rate to all minerals; (b) rebating only those royalties that were in place at July 2011; and (c) allowing depreciation on the book value of the amounts actually spent on mining infrastructure only". The PRESIDENT: The question is that the second reading amendment moved by Senator Milne be agreed to.
