I, and also on behalf of Senator Xenophon, seek leave to amend general business notice of motion No. 492, standing in my name and that of Senator Xenophon for today, by omitting, in paragraph (b), ‘on the government’ and substituting ‘on governments’.
Leave granted.
I, and also on behalf of Senator Xenophon, move the motion as amended:
- That the Senate—
- (a)
- condemns the recent violent attacks on Indian students in Australia; and
- (b)
- calls on governments to continue working with the Indian High Commission, to ensure the safety and welfare of Indian students while studying in Australia.
Question agreed to.
