I move:

That the Senate—

(a) resolves that it is committed to the continuation of the Australian Renewable Energy Agency (ARENA);

(b) notes that on this day, 15 July 2014, the final two board members' contracts expire, leaving the Secretary of the Department of Industry isolated as the only remaining member of the board; and

(c) on the basis of paragraph (a) above, calls on the Government to immediately appoint board members to assist the Secretary of the Department of Industry in developing new and emerging clean energy technologies for Australia to export to the world.

Question agreed to.
