I have received messages from the Senate informing the House of appointment of senators to certain joint committees and informing the House of the appointment of senators to the Joint Standing Committee on the National Broadband Network. As the list of senators appointed to these committees is lengthy, I do not propose to read them to the House. Details will be recorded in the Votes and Proceedings.

I have received advice from the Chief Government Whip and the Opposition Whip that members have been nominated to be members of certain committees.
