I have to report to the House that on 20 August 2019 the Speaker received advice from the Chief Government Whip nominating Mr Pitt to be a supplementary member of the Standing Committee on the Environment and Energy for the purpose of the committee’s inquiry into the prerequisites for nuclear energy in Australia. I also have to report that on 23 August 2019 I received advice from the Chief Opposition Whip nominating Ms Payne to be a member of the Joint Committee of Public Accounts and Audit and advice for Ms Sharkie to be a member of the Joint Standing Committee on Electoral Matters. In accordance with standing order 229(b), as the House was not expected to sit for several weeks, the appointments became effective on those dates.
