Before moving business of the Senate notice of motion No. 4, proposing a reference to the Legal and Constitutional Affairs References Committee, I wish to inform the Senate that Senator Hanson will co-sponsor the motion, and I ask that the name of Senator Hanson be added to the motion. I, and also on behalf of Senator Hanson, move:

That the following matter be referred to the Legal and Constitutional Affairs References Committee for inquiry and report by 31 March 2022:

The performance and integrity of Australia's administrative review system, with particular reference to:

(a) the Administrative Appeals Tribunal, including the selection process for members;

(b) the importance of transparency and parliamentary accountability in the context of Australia's administrative review system;

(c) whether the Administrative Review Council, which was discontinued in 2015, ought to be re-established; and

(d) any related matter.

Question agreed to.
