A letter has been received from Senator Hanson:
Pursuant to standing order 75, I propose that the following matter of public importance be submitted to the Senate for discussion:
With the overwhelming vote against the voice to Parliament, Australians have stated they don't want division; welcome to country ceremonies and acknowledgements of country are divisive, denying the citizenship and sovereignty held by all Australians regardless of race, and should be abandoned in Australian parliaments, council chambers and from any official government proceedings.
Is the proposal supported? It is supported. Senator McKim?
