I move:
That the Senate notes that—
(a) 3 November 2018 was the 65th anniversary of the Western Australian (WA) State flag, as it appears today;
(b) the original design of the State flag, which had the black swan facing the observer's right, was adopted in 1870;
(c) apart from the design change made in 1953, the WA State flag is the oldest state flag; and
(d) the WA State flag continues to be a strong and enduring symbol for all Western Australians.
Question agreed to.
