To move:

That the Senate—

  (a)   notes the opening statement made by the President of Fair Work Australia on 1 June 2010 during his appearance at an estimates hearing of the Education, Employment and Workplace Relations Legislation Committee, in particular, the request made that the Senate reconsider its order of 28 October 2009 which requires that, on each occasion on which the committee meets to consider estimates in relation to Fair Work Australia, the President of Fair Work Australia appear to answer questions; and

  (b)   modifies the order of 28 October 2009 by indicating that the Senate expects that the President of Fair Work Australia will appear should his or her presence be requested by the Education, Employment and Workplace Relations Legislation Committee in the future, but that the requirement that the President attend to answer questions on all occasions when the Education, Employment and Workplace Relations Legislation Committee meets to consider estimates in relation to Fair Work Australia no longer applies.
