I move:

That the Senate—

(a) notes that:

  (i) 31 March 2018 is Transgender Day of Visibility, and

  (ii) Transgender Day of Visibility is an opportunity to publicly affirm and celebrate trans and gender-diverse people's lives, their stories and their contributions to our communities; and

(b) calls on all parliamentarians to:

  (i) recognise and celebrate the many and varied contributions of trans and gender-diverse people,

  (ii) commit to elevating the voices and stories of trans and gender-diverse people in this Parliament, and

  (iii) support the provision of essential health, social, cultural, and community services for trans and gender-diverse people and their families, delivered with the meaningful input and involvement of these communities.

Question agreed to.
