Russell Broadbent (McMillan, Liberal Party) Share this | Hansard source

Before I start—I don't mean to be rude—a couple of things have been out of order during this small process of the committees presenting their reports. One was a deputy using it as a party political stance. This is usually where the chair gets up and makes a brief statement about the report, and we don't make partisan remarks about a report. Secondly, any other speakers are to be as brief as the presenter, but I don't want to set a precedent.

On behalf of the Joint Standing Committee on Treaties, I present the committee's report, incorporating dissenting reports, entitled Report 183: Aspects of the Peru-Australia Free Trade Agreement revisited.

Report made a parliamentary paper in accordance with standing order 39(e).

I move:

That the House take note of the report.
