I ask that general business notice of motion No. 228 standing in my name for today, which calls on the government to review its imposition of the efficiency dividend on cultural institutions like the National Gallery, be taken as formal. Before proceeding, I seek leave for Senator Milne to co-host this motion.

Leave granted.

I, and also on behalf of Senator Milne, move:

That the Senate opposes the Government's move to impose an efficiency dividend on Australia's cultural institutions such as the National Gallery of Australia, the National Library of Australia, the National Portrait Gallery and the National Museum of Australia.
