I invite Senator Fielding and Senator Xenophon to act as scrutineers.

A ballot having been taken—

There were 70 ballot papers issued. The result of the ballot is as follows: Senator Xenophon, 38 votes; Senator Fielding, 30 votes. There were two informal votes. Senator Xenophon is therefore elected as the member of the Senate Select Committee on Climate Policy nominated by Independent senators.
