I move:

That the following matter be referred to the Standing Committee of Privileges for inquiry and report:

(a) whether, in declining to appear before the Finance and Public Administration References Committee for the purposes of its inquiry into Commonwealth legislative provisions relating to oversight of associated political entities, Senator Sinodinos disobeyed a lawful order of the Senate without reasonable excuse; and

(b) if so, whether any contempt was committed in that regard.
