The President has received a message from the House of Representatives transmitting for concurrence a resolution proposing the appointment of the Joint Select Committee on Broadcasting Legislation. Copies of the message have been circulated in the chamber.

I seek leave to have the message considered immediately.

Leave granted.

I move:

That the Senate concurs with the resolution of the House of Representatives contained in message No. 597 relating to the appointment of the Joint Select Committee on Broadcasting Legislation.

I table a briefing note on the 75 per cent reach rule.

Question agreed to.
