This is absolutely incredible - I sincerely hope for the sake of posterity and for all those with a keen interest in Australian political history that the full proceedings of the Joint Sitting are uploaded for all to view!
I saw highlights on the House of Representatives UA-cam channel earlier in the week. As a nerd of all things parliamentary, I hope to watch the full debates in the future! Thank you to the NAA for bringing this to life.
The original umatic will stay in the archive - digitising just ensures that the content is preserved even if the technology to play the tapes isn't being made or maintained anymore.
Is the full version available anywhere?

Please upload this footage in the future, or at least excerpts of it.
