Hon GERRY BROWNLEE: The instruction to the committee has become a total irrelevance in the last couple of days. We've just passed provisions in this House to enable a select committee to do its business remotely, and we've said that it's only going to happen when there is urgent business for the House to conduct when there are difficult circumstances for it to come together. Well, anyone would have to be completely blind or deaf or unseeing, in all sorts of sensory ways, to not know that that's where it's all heading.
