At the request of Senator Carr, I move:

That the Senate—

(a) notes that:

(i) 22 March 2017 is Science Meets Parliament Day in Canberra, and

(ii) this event provides a great opportunity for members of Parliament to meet scientists from their electorates;

No. 32—22 March 2017 7

(b) congratulates Science and Technology Australia for organising this event;

(c) acknowledges that this event is now in its 18th consecutive year; and

(d) urges all political parties, members and senators to recognise the importance of science to this nation’s future, economically, socially, culturally and environmentally, and to adopt policies which reflect this fact.

Question agreed to.
