I move the second reading amendment on sheet 8714 standing in my name:

At the end of the motion, add:

", but the Senate:

(a) notes that the Bureau of Meteorology has stated that:

  (i) the current drought in the Murray-Darling Basin is the most severe in 120 years of records; and

  (ii) climate change is a significant cause of the severity of the drought; and

(b) calls on the Government to recognise that we are in the middle of a climate crisis which has implications for droughts in this country."
