Mr PORTER (Pearce—Minister for Social Services) (19:17): by leave—I move: That members be appointed and discharged as members of certain committees in accordance with the list which has been placed on the table. As the list is a lengthy one I do not propose to read the list to the House. Details will be recorded in the Votes and Proceedings. Mr Albanese: No—read it! We're going to vote for it, we want to know what it is! How can we vote on it? They have not even given us a copy! Mr Burke: Mr Deputy Speaker, I rise on a point of order. There is a normal procedure where the opposition is provided with a copy of a list. We cannot vote on it and not be told what is in it. That is not a great way of operating! Mr PORTER: Mr Deputy Speaker, in response to the vociferous protestations of the Manager of Opposition Business, and out of a desire to be agile, innovative and flexible, I am please to advise the House of the following changes which are proposed: that Ms Marino, Mr Pitt, Ms Price and Mrs Wicks be appointed members of the Standing Committee on Communications and the Arts; Dr Stone be discharged from the Standing Committee on Education and Employment; Ms Price be discharged from the Standing Committee on Indigenous Affairs; Mr Pitt be discharged from the Standing Committee on Infrastructure, Transport and Cities; Mr ET Jones be discharged from the Joint Standing Committee on Foreign Affairs, Defence and Trade and Dr Stone be discharged from the Joint Standing Committee on Treaties. Question agreed to.
