The first matter today is the election of a temporary chairman. I now invite nominations for the position of temporary Chairman.

I nominate Senator Humphreys.

I second the nomination.

As there are no other nominations, I declare Senator Humphreys temporary Chairman of the committee and call on him to take the Chair.

Apologies have been received from Deputy Neville. I propose we go into private session to deal with some housekeeping matters. Is that agreed? Agreed.
