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.
