As Senator Carr was absent from the Senate on 4 July 2011, I will now administer the oath or affirmation of allegiance as required by section 42 of the Constitution. I remind honourable senators that Senator Carr's certificate of election was tabled on 4 July 2011. Will the honourable senator please come to the table to make and subscribe the affirmation of allegiance.

Senator Carr made and subscribed the affirmation of allegiance.
