I have received advice from the Chief Government Whip nominating members to be members of certain committees.

I ask leave of the House to move a motion for the appointment of members to certain committees.

Tony Smith (Speaker) Share this | Link to this | Hansard source

Is leave granted?

Leave is granted. It is better than the last one.

That is almost treasonous, Mr Speaker! I move:

That:

(1) Mr Varvaris be appointed a member of the Joint Standing Committee on Foreign Affairs, Defence and Trade;

(2) Ms Henderson be discharged from the Standing Committee on Health and that, in her place, Dr Gillespie be appointed a member of the committee;

(3) Ms Price be discharged from the Standing Committee on Infrastructure and Communications and that, in her place, Mr Alexander be appointed a member of the committee.

Question agreed to.
