I move:

That standing order 18 establishing the Committee of Privileges be amended as follows with immediate effect:

(a) in paragraph (1), omit “7”, substitute “8”; and

(b) omit paragraph (3), substitute:

(3) The committee shall consist of 8 senators, 4 nominated by the Leader of the Government in the Senate, 3 nominated by the Leader of the Opposition in the Senate and 1 nominated by a minority party and independent senators.

The question is that the motion moved by Senator Milne be agreed to.
