by leave—at the request of Senator Furner, I move:

That the order of the Senate of 9 February 2012 authorising the Joint Standing Committee on Foreign Affairs, Defence and Trade to hold public meetings be varied by omitting paragraph (a)(ii), and substituting: (a)(ii) from 5 pm to 6.30 pm, to take evidence for the committee's inquiry into Australia's overseas representation.

Question agreed to.
