Tony Smith Speaker
3:15 pm
I have received advice from the Chief Government Whip nominating members to be members of certain committees.
Christopher Pyne Sturt, Liberal Party, Leader of the House
I ask leave of the House to move a motion for the appointment of members to certain committees.
Mr Tony Burke Watson, Australian Labor Party, Shadow Minister for Finance
Leave is granted. It is better than the last one.
Christopher Pyne Sturt, Liberal Party, Leader of the House
That is almost treasonous, Mr Speaker! I move:
That:
(1) Mr Varvaris be appointed a member of the Joint Standing Committee on Foreign Affairs, Defence and Trade;
(2) Ms Henderson be discharged from the Standing Committee on Health and that, in her place, Dr Gillespie be appointed a member of the committee;
(3) Ms Price be discharged from the Standing Committee on Infrastructure and Communications and that, in her place, Mr Alexander be appointed a member of the committee.
Question agreed to.
