I've received advice from the Chief Opposition Whip, nominating members to be members of certain committees.

by leave—I move:

That:

(1) Mr Boyce be appointed a member of the Standing Committee on Climate Change, Energy, Environment and Water;

(2) Ms Penfold be appointed a member of the Standing Committee on Communications, the Arts and Sport;

(3) Mr Birrell be appointed a member of the Standing Committee on Education and the Standing Committee on Health, Aged Care and Disability;

(4) Ms Landry and Mr McCormack be appointed members of the Standing Committee on Industry, Innovation and Science;

(5) Mr Chaffey and Ms Landry be appointed members of the Standing Committee on Primary Industries;

(6) Mr McCormack be appointed a member of the Committee of Privileges and Members' Interests, the Standing Committee on Social Policy and Legal Affairs and the Parliamentary Joint Committee on Parliamentary Standards;

(7) Ms Landry and Ms Penfold be appointed members of the Standing Committee on Regional Development, Infrastructure and Transport;

(8) Ms Landry be appointed a member of the Selection Committee; and

(9) Mr Conaghan be appointed a member of the Parliamentary Joint Committee on the National Anti-Corruption Commission.

For the information of members, a few weeks ago, every single one of those people was already a member of that committee, and that was the list that the Speaker decided wisely, I think, not to read out to us last week. This week's procedure is to put everybody back on the committees that they were bounced off last week. I don't know what the next procedure they make us move will be. It's something like the share house, where you hate all the other tenants but it's too expensive to move out!

Question agreed to.
