We will now consider proposals for the election of a Vice Chairman.
Election of Vice Chairman
I nominate Senator Tim Lombard.
That is fine. Are there any other nominations? As there are not, I declare Senator Lombard elected Vice Chairman. Will the Senator accept the nomination, or will he rush out the door?
Never, Chairman.
I was only codding.
I thank the Chairman.
That is fine. I thank everyone for their time and co-operation. I look forward to working with all the members for the duration of this committee's tenure. I assure them that I will make every effort to ensure that the time they spend on committee work will be productive and will result in positive outcomes.
The joint committee adjourned at 1.27 p.m. until 4 p.m. on Tuesday, 6 October 2020.
