Intelligence and Security Committee — Membership

on behalf of the Prime Minister: I move, That under section 196 of the Intelligence and Security Act 2017, this House endorse the following as members of the Intelligence and Security Committee: Hon Priyanca Radhakrishnan and Teanau Tuiono, nominated by the Leader of the Opposition under section 194(2)(c) of the Act; and Rt Hon Winston Peters, Hon Brooke van Velden, and Hon Judith Collins, nominated by the Prime Minister under section 194(2)(d) of the Act.

This is a standard motion at the start of the new Parliament. I’m moving it on behalf of the Prime Minister, obviously, to appoint the various members of the Intelligence and Security Committee pursuant to the Intelligence and Security Act 2017. In addition to the Prime Minister and the Leader of the Opposition, the committee will consist of the Hon Priyanca Radhakrishnan and Teanau Tuiono, on behalf of the Opposition, nominated by the Leader of the Opposition under section 194(2)(c) of the Act; and also the Rt Hon Winston Peters, Deputy Prime Minister; the Hon Brooke van Velden, on behalf of the ACT Party; and the Hon Judith Collins, nominated by the Prime Minister under the relevant section of the Act. This is just a procedural motion to set up the committee for the new Parliament.

Motion agreed to.
