I am informed by the team from the Department of the Senate that, if I don't proceed with what's on the paper in front of me, estimates may not proceed next week. It's only my commitment to the institution that leads me on, against every fibre of my being, to read the following words. I table the following documents:

Particulars of proposed additional expenditure in respect of the year ending on 30 June 2026 [Appropriation Bill (No. 3) 2025-2026].

Particulars of certain proposed additional expenditure in respect of the year ending on 30 June 2026 [Appropriation Bill (No. 4) 2025-2026].

Particulars of proposed additional expenditure in relation to the parliamentary departments in respect of the year ending on 30 June 2026 [Appropriation (Parliamentary Departments) Bill (No. 2) 2025-2026].

I see leave to move a motion to refer the documents to legislation committees.

Leave granted.

I move:

That the documents, together with the final budget outcome 2024-25, be referred to committees for examination and report.

Question agreed to.
