LAWSON:</by>  Earlier in the debate on the Independent Commission Against Corruption Bill, I referred to joint standing order 4 as providing some guidance to the committee on the question of the quorum for meetings of the joint parliamentary committee proposed to be established under that bill.</text>
        <text id="200910140a1a75cb9d16444290001086">I accept that I should have referred instead to joint standing order 16, which deals with joint sittings of the houses to elect senators, which joint standing order does not provide for the imposition of any particular quorum for such meetings—an important precedent which the committee should have known, and I should have given a correct reference.</text>
