I move an amendment to the motion:

At the end of the motion, add:

"and, in respect of the Sex Discrimination and Fair Work (Respect at Work) Amendment Bill 2021, contingent upon introduction in the Senate, the bill be referred immediately to the Education and Employment Legislation Committee for inquiry and report by 6 August 2021."

The amendment is very straightforward. It has been circulated in the chamber. It is to refer the Sex Discrimination and Fair Work (Respect at Work) Amendment Bill 2021 to the Education and Employment Legislation Committee, rather than the Legal and Constitutional Affairs Legislation Committee, for inquiry and report. We think it fits more appropriately there, because the Fair Work legislation normally goes to that committee.

Question agreed to.

Original question, as amended, agreed to.
