I move:

That the House:

(1)
recognises the Association of Former Members of the Parliament of Australia, formed in 1988, as a forum in which former Members and Senators can meet, discuss and promote parliamentary democracy;
(2)
acknowledges the contribution made by the Association and its members to debate on public policy in Australia and the furthering of parliamentary democracy in general;
(3)
welcomes the role of the Association in encouraging former Members and Senators to maintain their contacts, associations and friendships established during their tenure as Australian parliamentarians; and
(4)
endorses the Association’s role in establishing fraternal relations with kindred organisations within Australia and internationally.
