I seek leave to amend business of the Senate notice of motion No. 1 to change the committee from the Rural and Regional Affairs and Transport Legislation Committee to the Rural and Regional Affairs and Transport References Committee, and I inform the chamber that Senator Sterle will also be co-sponsoring the motion.

Leave granted.

I, and also on behalf of Senator Sterle, move the motion as amended:

That the following matter be referred to the Rural and Regional Affairs and Transport References Committee for inquiry and report by 10 October 2022:

a. the adequacy of Australia's biosecurity measures and response preparedness, in particular with respect to foot-and-mouth disease and varroa mite;

b. response to and implementation of previous reports into biosecurity; and any related matters.
