The government opposes the formation of this committee proposed to be led by a Labor-Green alliance. The Joint Standing Committee on Northern Australia is already an adequate forum to explore these issues and is expected to be resumed for this parliament. The duplication is only additional work for the committee staff.

Question agreed to.
