The Greens will be supporting this motion. As the chair of the committee, I would like to let the chamber know that the community affairs committee is very overworked. While we welcome all the inquiries that are referred to us, we want to let the chamber know that we will have difficulty processing this until the week after the budget. Senator Griff understands that, and I understand Labor does too. We will not be doing any work on this, with the acknowledgement of the chamber, until after budget week. Then, of course, it will be full steam ahead.

Question agreed to.
