I move:

That:

(1) the resolution of appointment for the Parliamentary Joint Committee on the National Anti-Corruption Commission be amended to replace subparagraph 1(l) with the following: "(l) the committee or any subcommittee have power to consider and make use of the evidence and records of the former Parliamentary Joint Committee on the Australian Commission for Law Enforcement Integrity and the Parliamentary Joint Committee on the National Anti-Corruption Commission appointed during previous Parliaments;"; and

(2) a message be sent to the Senate acquainting it of this resolution and requesting that it concur and take action accordingly.

For the information of members, we did what we normally do with every committee, which is to use the same resolution as was used during the last parliament, but most committees have been around for some time, so they automatically have the clause contained within them about the committee being able to use the work of previous parliaments. Because this is a new committee, that wasn't included in the original resolution, and this is to correct that.

Question agreed to.
