I move:

That the Senate requests that the Government ask that an appropriate examination or review be undertaken of the remuneration and entitlements of members and senators by the Remuneration Tribunal, on the basis that it take a holistic view with respect to members’ and senators’ salary packages and allowances, what they need to do their jobs, and their superannuation entitlements; and that the tribunal report to the Government in 2008.

Question negatived.
