I was going to wish the member fed Grayndler are happy birthday in the spirit of goodwill and the member for rank and. But now that everybody is being so unpleasant, I feel the moment has moved on. I feel that we have moved on from the moment of goodwill that we had only moments ago. I wish a happy birthday to the members for Grayndler and Rankin, and to the member for Gorton, well done—you are not looking at all over 40.

By leave—I move:

That Mr Buchholz be appointed a member of the Joint Standing Committee on Electoral Matters;

Mrs Griggs, Mr Hastie and Mr Williams, be appointed members of the Joint Standing Committee on Foreign Affairs, Defence and Trade.

Question agreed to.
