Senator GALLAGHER (Australian Capital Territory—Manager of Opposition Business in the Senate) (11:47): I seek leave to make a short statement. The PRESIDENT: Leave is granted for one minute. Senator GALLAGHER: We note the motion moved by the government and the machinery-of-government changes which have occurred and have required these changes to committees. We would like to put on the record, as there is some disjoint amongst departments, that we don't want to see the changes to allocations to the committees as a reason for not answering or not providing information because certain departments aren't there or have moved to a different time. We still expect the same level of transparency and accountability, but we will support the motion. Question agreed to.
