This is a simple amendment to our terms of reference to ensure that we are no longer breaching the standing orders by having a reporting date for this committee which will be 27 August this year, which is the last day of sitting.
MR WALL (Brindabella) (11.32): The opposition will be supporting the amendment regarding the establishment of this committee. It is important that there continues to be scrutiny of government actions and functions during the COVID response. Whilst the date was not necessarily an easy date to agree on, I think that there is now agreement from all three parties for the date to be at the end of August. However, the opposition will reserve the right, should there be a second wave or a further outbreak of community transmissions of COVID, to review that decision, and we will reserve the right to come back and amend the reporting date if required.
