I seek leave to amend general business notice of motion No. 251 standing in my name by changing paragraph (b).

Leave granted.

I move the motion as amended:

That the Senate—

(a)

notes that the eighth round of the Sino-Tibetan dialogue is due to take place in October or November 2008;

(b)

recognises the Dalai Lama’s ‘middle way’ approach to autonomy for Tibet within China; and

(c)

appreciates the offer by the People’s Republic of China to host the dialogue and wishes both parties a successful breakthrough and outcome.

Question agreed to.
