by leave—I wish to make a short statement, and this is perhaps directed to the opposition: my position is that I support the motion of Senator Bushby that this matter go to the select committee, but I think the appropriate thing is for the composition of the committee to reflect the composition of the chamber, and that it be three government members, three opposition members and one crossbencher. I do not know whether that could be dealt with. Perhaps the opposition could reconsider their position in respect of that.
