I move:

That the Senate—

(a)   notes the outstanding service provided to the Parliament by the staff of the Department of Parliamentary Services, in particular, the services of Hansard, the Parliamentary Library and broadcasting services; and

(b)   calls on the Presiding Officers to ensure staff are treated fairly and guaranteed pay and conditions commensurate with the services they provide to the Parliament.

This motion notes the outstanding service provided to the parliament by the staff of the Department of Parliamentary Services.

Question agreed to.

I would just note that the opposition opposed that motion.

That is noted, Senator Brown.
