Point of order: I'm not quite sure how to ask this, but the community affairs committee has been referred a bill on the same act that this bill has amended. It has been referred to us by the Selection of Bills Committee, so I am seeking some advice about the status of that referral. I guess that advice can come back to the committee and chamber at some other time, but I'm keen to know what the business before the committee is. Thank you.

Senator Pratt, I understand, conferring with the table staff, that it's not something on which I can advise from the chair. It's recommended that you approach the Clerk directly.
