A message has been received from the House of Representatives transmitting for concurrence resolutions relating to the formation of a joint committee. Copies of the message have been circulated in the chamber. Details of the documents tabled today are recorded in the Journals.

I move:

That the Senate concurs with the resolution of the House of Representatives contained in message No. 17 relating to the appointment of the Joint Standing Committee on the National Broadband Network.

If I may seek some clarification, Mr Acting Deputy President: are you just putting the question on the joint NBN committee?

Alex Gallacher (SA, Australian Labor Party) Share this | Link to this | Hansard source

Yes.

For the benefit of opposition spokespeople—I was expecting that this would be a fairly quiet few minutes.

Question agreed to.
