I move:

That the Senate—

(a)   acknowledges that:

(i)   23 July 2016 marks the centenary of Australia's participation in the Battle of Pozieres,

(ii)   24,000 Australian soldiers lost their lives in the battle, and

(iii)   no other battle in World War I equalled the horror of the Battle of Pozieres as measured by lives lost and soldiers wounded; and

(b)   thanks the Australian Pozieres Remembrance Association Inc., together with the village of Pozieres, for creating a Memorial Garden in Pozieres to pay tribute to Australia's World War I defence personnel.

Question agreed to.
