I am hopeful that Deputy Heydon will be in attendance.

Deputy Joe Carey is in attendance for Deputy Heydon. Senator Colette Kelleher has also sent her apologies.

The usual provisos relate to the use of mobile phones. I am now switching my own phone to airplane mode. I propose that the committee will go into private session to deal with some housekeeping matters. Is that agreed? Agreed.

The joint committee went into private session at 1.36 p.m. and resumed in public session at 2.12 p.m.
