by leave—I, and also on behalf of Senator Di Natale, move:

That the Senate—

(a) extends its condolences to the family and friends of Mr Leo Seemanpillai, a Tamil refugee who died tragically in Geelong on 1 June 2014 as a result of self-immolating;

(b) calls on the Minister for Immigration and Border Protection (Mr Morrison) to urgently intervene in the case to ensure that Mr Seemanpillai's family receives visas enabling them to attend his funeral in Australia; and

(c) expresses its gratitude for Mr Seemanpillai's decision to become an organ donor and to give several other Australians a new chance at life.
