Reporting to Parliament
(2) The copy of the call out order and report must be forwarded to the Presiding Officer of each House of the Parliament, before the end of 7 days after the order ceases to be in force:

(b) otherwise--for distribution to all Senators or Members of the House of Representatives before the end of those 7 days.
Multiple call out orders
(3) For the purposes of this section, if more than one call out order is made in relation to the same or related circumstances, without any intervening period when a call out order relating to those circumstances is not in force:
(a) each of the orders is taken to be a single call out order; and
(b) the order is taken to cease to be in force when the last of the orders ceases to be in force.
