I move this motion on behalf of Senator Di Natale. I wish to inform the chamber that Senator Collins will also sponsor the motion. I, and on behalf of Senator Di Natale and Senator Collins, move:

That the Senate—

(a) notes that Muslims in Australia and around the world are about to celebrate the end of the holy month of Ramadan, a spiritual month, where followers of Islam fast and recommit to the values of patience, generosity and altruism;

(b) acknowledges those many Iftar events around the country where many non–Muslim friends and neighbours share a meal together, exchange knowledge and learn more about the cultural and spiritual diversity within Australia; and

(c) recognises Australian Muslims' ongoing and valuable contributions to the community.

Question agreed to.
