At the request of the Chair of the Finance and Public Administration Committee, Senator Polley, I move:

That the Finance and Public Administration Committee be authorised to hold a public meeting during the sitting of the Senate on Thursday, 12 February 2009, from 3.30 pm, to take evidence for the committee’s inquiry into the Freedom of Information (Removal of Conclusive Certificates and Other Measures) Bill 2008 [2009].
