know that we have done governance pretty well. With education, certainly in the past 20 years, starting with the Carnell government, I think we are coming to understand the importance of our national institutions like ANU, UC, ADFA, RMC, ACU, Charles Sturt and the other fine institutions that we have like CIT, but we need to work with them better and more.

Question resolved in the affirmative.

Establishment

MR SMYTH (Brindabella) (11.11), by leave: I move the motion standing in my name.

Mr Barr: Has it been circulated?

MR SMYTH: Yes, it is on the desk. It is the standard motion that we move every year.

Mr Barr: I have not seen it.

Mr Gentleman: I have not seen it, either.

MR SMYTH: Sorry, it has been circulated.

Mr Barr: Has it?

MADAM DEPUTY SPEAKER: Just bear with us for a moment.

Mr Barr: I do not think it has made it to this side.

MR SMYTH: All right; it would appear it has been circulated on only one side of the house; so I move:

(1) a Select Committee on Estimates 2016-2017 be appointed to examine the expenditure proposals contained in the Appropriation Bill 2016-2017, the Appropriation (Office of the Legislative Assembly) Bill 2016-2017 and any revenue estimates proposed by the Government in the 2016-2017 Budget and prepare a report to the Assembly;

(2) the committee be composed of:

(a) two Members to be nominated by the Government; and

to be notified in writing to the Speaker by 12.15 pm today;
