I, and on behalf of Senators Humphries and Moore, move:
That the Senate—
- (a)
- welcomes the British Government’s apology made on 24 February 2010 to the thousands of children who were sent to Australia between 1937 and 1967 under child migration schemes; and
- (b)
- congratulates the British Government on this initiative and the announcement of their commitment to providing support to both the child migrants and their families.
Question agreed to.
