I seek leave to amend general business notice of motion No. 478 standing in my name.

Leave granted.

I move the motion as amended:

That the Senate:

(a)

acknowledges the Sudanese Government’s decision to allow aid agencies to return to Darfur and encourages it to facilitate the resumption of the agencies’ operations;

(b)

encourages the United Nations, the African Union, the Arab League and other countries to urge Sudanese authorities to permit more patrols to ensure the safety of humanitarian operational areas; and

(c)

calls on the Australian Government to prioritise humanitarian funding to Sudan.

Question agreed to.
