I move:

On behalf of the Standing Committee on Regulations and Ordinances, I give notice of my intention, at the giving of notices on the next day of sitting, to withdraw business of the Senate notice of motion No. 1 standing in my name for two sitting days after today for the disallowance of Australian Jobs (Australian Industry Participation) Rule 2014, made under section 128 of the Australian Jobs Act 2013.

I seek leave to make a short statement.

That will be plenty of time, Mr President. On 13 May 2014 the committee gave notice to disallow this instrument while it sought further information from the Minister for Industry relating to the prescribing of matters by legislative rules. Although the matter remains unresolved, the committee has agreed to withdraw the notice, noting the assistance received to date from the minister and the First Parliamentary Counsel in relation to the committee's inquiries. The committee will continue to report on this matter through its sitting week reports in the delegated legislative monitor.
