At the request of Senator Cameron, I move:

That the Senate requests that Ms Glenys Beauchamp, PSM and Dr Chris Pigram appear before the Economics Legislation Committee to answer questions at the additional estimates hearing on 28 February 2018 or 1 March 2018 when the committee is examining the Department of Industry, Innovation and Science.

Leave is granted for one minute.

This is a highly irregular motion. Ms Glenys Beauchamp PSM is no longer with the Department of Industry, Innovation and Science. Dr Chris Pigram is now a retired private citizen.

Question agreed to.
