the Water (Crisis Powers and Floodwater Diversion) Bill 2010 be referred to the Environment and Communications Legislation Committee for inquiry and report by 18 November 2010;

(b)

the Senate notes that the Environment, Communications and the Arts Legislation Committee had all but completed its inquiry into the Water (Crisis Powers and Floodwater Diversion) Bill 2010 when the Parliament was prorogued on 19 July 2010; and

(c)

in conducting its inquiry the committee have the power to consider and use the records of the Environment, Communications and the Arts Legislation Committee appointed in the previous Parliament relating to its consideration of an earlier version of the bill.

Question agreed to.
