I move:

That the Senate notes—

(a) that 24 November 2017 marks the 10 year anniversary of the death of good government in Australia;

(b) that the standards of government and political debate have declined since the days of Menzies, Hawke, Keating and Howard; and

(c) the urgent need for senators, members and the government to return to a focus on the principles exemplified by governments before 24 November 2007, specifically:

  (i) stable government,

  (ii) ministerial standards, and

  (iii) fiscal responsibility.
