I'm advised by the table staff that because the first question in relation to schedule 4 standing as printed was resolved in the affirmative, that I'm only to move 2105 now. So there will only be one question put. I intend to put it. The question now before the committee is that the remaining amendments on sheet 2105 to the National Housing Supply and Affordability Council Bill 2023 be agreed to.

Opposition's circulated amendments—

(1) Clause 22, page 13 (lines 27 to 30), omit subclause (3), substitute:

(3) In appointing members, the Minister must ensure that:

(a) the appointed members collectively have an appropriate balance of qualifications, skills or experience in the fields mentioned in subsection (2); and

(b) at least one of the appointed members has a substantial connection to, or substantial experience in, one or more regional areas of Australia through business, industry or community involvement.
