On behalf of Senator McKenzie, I move:

That the Senate—

(a) notes statements of support for the Boycott, Divestment and Sanctions (BDS) campaign against Israel, including the Victoria Trades Hall Council's recent reiteration of its support for the BDS strategy; and

(b) denounces such support as anti-Semitic, ill-informed, simplistic, inflammatory and having no place in our society.

Is there any objection to this motion being taken as formal?

Claire Moore (Queensland, Australian Labor Party, Shadow Minister for Women) Share this | Link to this | Hansard source
