I, and also on behalf of Senator Bernardi, move:

That the Senate—

(a)   notes that:

(i)   bullying and harassment should never be tolerated in any forum,

(ii)   schools should provide a safe and supportive learning environment for all students, and

(iii)   schools participating in the Safe Schools Coalition Australia programme should carefully consider the suitability of resources, including web based resources, for all their students;

(b)   requests that all parents are provided information about the programme to allow them to make an informed decision regarding their child's participation, and that schools respect their decision, including the right to exclude their child from the programme; and

(c)   requests that all schools considering joining the programme respectfully consult parents in making any such decision.
