Before moving government business notice of motion No. 1, I inform the Senate that Senators Cox and Thorpe have also added their names to the motion that I put forward. I, and also on behalf of Senators Dodson, Stewart, Cox and Thorpe, move:
That the Senate—
a. notes the resolution of 8 October 1992 relating to the display of the Australian Flag in the Senate chamber;
b. resolves that, consistent with its previous resolution, the Aboriginal Flag and the Torres Strait Islander Flag be displayed alongside the Australian Flag in the Senate chamber; and
c. directs that the flags be installed within three weeks after the passage of this resolution.
Question agreed to.
