At the request of Senator Pratt, I move:

That the Joint Standing Committee on the National Capital and External Territories be authorised to hold a public meeting during the sitting of the Senate on Wednesday, 27 June 2012, from 12.30 pm to 1.45 pm, to take evidence for the committee's inquiry into the review of the Department of Sustainability, Environment, Water, Population and Communities annual report 2010-11.

Question agreed to.
