I'm going to ask leave of the House to move a motion. By way of context, yesterday when I tabled a Public Accounts and Audit Committee report there was some confusion about whether the committee had resolved to seek to refer the report to the Federation Chamber for debate. I didn't believe they had and I'm chair of the committee, so I thought I'd take advice before doing that. We checked during this morning's meeting, and the committee had resolved and it is the committee's wish to do so—it is highly unusual because it's only an interim report—and I'll fulfill the obligation to the committee by seeking leave of the House to move a motion to refer Report 500: Inquiry into procurement at Services Australia and the NDIA: Interim report to the Federation Chamber for debate.
