I seek leave to make a short statement.

Is leave granted? Leave is granted for two minutes, Senator Stephens.

I thank the Senate. Earlier this afternoon the Government Whip tabled on my behalf the Parliamentary Joint Committee on Human Rights 4th report, which was the interim report of the committee's consideration of the Social Security Legislation Amendment (Fair Incentives to Work) Bill 2012, and was not able to table the tabling statement at that time, nor was the statement able to be tabled in the House of Representatives by the chair, Mr Jenkins. For completeness of the record and because of the significance of the Social Security Legislation Amendment (Fair Incentives to Work) Bill 2012 as the first specific legislative consideration of the Human Rights Committee, I seek leave to table the statement to the Senate so that it completes the record.

Leave granted.
