I have received a message from the Senate informing the House of a resolution of the Senate referring a matter to the Joint Standing Committee on Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Affairs. Given the length of the resolution, I do not intend to read the terms of it, which will be recorded in the votes and proceedings and incorporated in Hansard.

The message read as follows—

That the following matter be referred to the Joint Standing Committee on Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Affairs for inquiry and report by 1 December 2022:

Community safety, support services and job opportunities in the Northern Territory, with particular reference to:

(a) the preparation for the sunsetting of the Stronger Futures legislation;

(b) community safety and alcohol management;

(c) job opportunities and Community Development Program reform;

(d) justice reinvestment community services; and

(e) any related matters.
