As per the discussion of whips last night, it was agreed that we could do these two motions first, which we have cross-party support for, with the indulgence of the chamber. I, and also on behalf of Senators Dodson and Scullion, move:

That the Senate—

(a) notes that:

(i) this year's Indigenous Governance Awards were held on 23 November in Melbourne, and

(ii) the Awards identify, celebrate and promote effective Indigenous governance, which is about Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples making and implementing decisions about their communities, lives and futures;

(b) recognises the calibre of the nine finalists for the Awards; and

(c) congratulates the winning organisations of the 2018 Indigenous Governance Awards.

Question agreed to.
