I move:

That the Senate—

(a)   notes that:

(i)

Crown Casino in Melbourne continues to burn large quantities of gas, and therefore contribute significantly to global warming, for the purpose of holding fireball shows at the front of the complex, and

(ii)

the fireball shows take place approximately 3 000 times a year, and each show consists of hundreds of fireballs with diameters of between 3 and 7 metres; and

(b)   calls on the Victorian Government to introduce legislation that would prevent Crown Casino from continuing to hold the fireball shows.

Question negatived.

by leave—Mr Deputy President, I ask to have it recorded that the Greens supported each of Senator Allison’s motions.
