At the request of Senator McKenzie, I move:

That—

(a) the Select Committee on Commonwealth Bilateral Air Service Agreements, appointed by resolution of the Senate on 5 September 2023, as amended on 7 September 2023, be reappointed on the same terms, except as otherwise provided by this resolution, so that the committee may:

(i) receive evidence at a public hearing from:

(A) witnesses who were unavailable prior to the committee's original reporting date, including Mr Alan Joyce AC; and

(B) government affairs representatives from Qantas, noting that Qantas' answers to questions on notice from senators were unsatisfactory; and

(ii) report on any matters arising relevant to the committee's terms of reference; and

(b) the committee or any subcommittee have the power to consider and make use of the evidence and records of the select committee appointed on 5 September 2023; and

(c) senators who were members or participating members of the previous select committee are appointed to the new committee; and

(d) the committee report by 15 December 2023.
