On behalf of the Chair of the Finance and Public Administration References Committee, Senator McAllister, I present the committee's report on the Operation of the Administrative Arrangements Order, the effectiveness of the division and performance of responsibilities under it, and any other related matters, together with the Hansard record of the proceedings and documents presented to the committee.

Ordered that the report be printed.

I move:

That the Senate take note of the report.
