I move:
- That the Senate—
- (a)
- notes that the week beginning 11 May 2009 is National Volunteer Week;
- (b)
- recognises that more than 5.4 million Australian volunteers contribute more than 700 million hours of their time to support our community in a wide range of areas from aged cared, health, emergency services, education and sport;
- (c)
- acknowledges that community groups, charities and services would not be able to deliver their services without volunteers;
- (d)
- commends volunteers for their tireless contributions to our community; and
- (e)
- acknowledges the enormous role that volunteers play in civil society.
Question agreed to.
