I present a chart showing the revised program of sittings for 2017. Copies of the program have been placed on the table. I ask leave of the House to move that the program be agreed to.

Leave granted.

I move:

That the revised program of sittings for 2017 be agreed to.

Very briefly, there is no change to the number of sitting days or weeks. But in order to facilitate the Prime Minister's visit to the 100th anniversary of the Battle of Beersheba, the last great successful cavalry charge in world history, we have moved one of the sitting weeks so that the Prime Minister might be able to represent Australia at Beersheba.

Question agreed to.
