At the request of Senator Di Natale, I move:

That the Senate—

(a) notes that, 10 years ago, the Australian people elected a Parliament where no single party had a majority;

(b) affirms that the 43rd Parliament was one of the most productive the country has seen, getting dental into Medicare for over 3 million children, making Parliament more democratic, including by creating the Parliamentary Budget Office, and being the only Parliament in recent history to meaningfully cut climate pollution; and

(c) congratulates former Prime Minister Julia Gillard, former Greens Leader Bob Brown and the independent Members of Parliament for agreeing to work together for the benefit of the Australian people.
