That the resolution of appointment of the Joint Select Committee on Australia's Immigration Detention Network be amended as follows:

Omit paragraph (6), substitute:

(6) the committee shall elect as its chair a Government member appointed to the committee on the nomination of the Government Whip or Whips, or the Leader of the Government in the Senate.

After paragraph (6), insert:

(6A) the committee shall elect a member as its deputy chair.

Question agreed to.
