I have received messages from the Senate informing the House that senators have been appointed members and participating members of the Joint Standing Committee on the National Broadband Network and the Joint Select Committee on the Christmas Island Tragedy of 15 December 2010. As the messages are lengthy, I do not intend to read the terms of them. They will be record in the Votes and Proceedings and incorporated in Hansard.

The messages read as follows—

Senators Cash, Crossin, Fielding, Hanson-Young and Marshall have been appointed members of the Joint Select Committee on the Christmas Island tragedy of 15 December 2010.
