I seek leave to amend general business notice of motion No. 108, standing in my name for today, relating to the 2014 Sochi Winter Olympic Games.

Leave granted.

I move the motion as amended:

That the Senate congratulates the members of the Australian Olympic team competing at the 2014 Sochi Winter Olympic Games who have shown their support for the Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, Transgender and Intersex community and expressed their deep concern for Russia's discriminatory and homophobic laws.

Question agreed to.
