To be clear, Minister, this amendment doesn't change the existing provision in the act:

In nominating the members, the Prime Minister and the Leader of the Government in the Senate must have regard to the desirability of ensuring that the composition of the Committee reflects the representation of recognised political parties in the Parliament.

It's not intended to change that but it is indeed in the spirit of that; that is my understanding.
