I have received a message from the Senate informing the House of Representatives that it has considered message No. 523 of the House and concurs with the resolution of appointment of the Joint Select Committee on Cyber-Safety, subject to paragraph (2) of the resolution being amended. Copies of the message transmitting the proposed amendment have been placed on the table.

I move:

That the message be considered immediately.

Question agreed to.

I move:

That the Senate’s amendment to the resolution of appointment of the proposed Joint Select Committee on Cyber-Safety be agreed to.

Question agreed to.
