The Committee that never ends

I was thinking of making a late submission to the Senate select committee on the NBN and noted on the website that today is the reporting date.

However, I note from the Dynamic Red that today there will be two motions today;

No. 641 – Chair of the Select Committee on the National Broadband Network (Senator Fisher) – Extension of time to report
No. 642 – Chair of the Select Committee on the National Broadband Network (Senator Fisher) – Authorising the committee to hold a private meeting otherwise than in accordance with standing order 33(1) during the sitting of the Senate today.

I have no idea whether they are seeking a short extension, or another long one on the basis that they need to see the Implementation Study first. In any case if the extension is more than four days then the report might as well be delayed to February (though it could be tabled out of session).
