At the request of Senators Singh and Storer, I move:
That the Senate notes that—
(a) 1 September 2018 was National Wattle Day;
(b) since 1993, the Australian Republic Movement has supported National Wattle Day celebrations throughout Australia;
(c) this year Australians joined together at barbecues across the country to celebrate National Wattle Day, and to rally support for an Australian republic; and
(d) a significant and growing majority of Australians prefer an Australian to be Australia's Head of State.
