I seek leave to amend general business notice of motion No. 466 standing in my name for today, relating to Israel and Palestine.

Leave granted.

I move the amended motion, as circulated in the chamber:

That the Senate supports the call by the Deputy Prime Minister (Ms Gillard) on the Australian Broadcasting Corporation program Lateline, 16 June 2009, to support:

(a)

a two-state solution to the Israel-Palestine conflict; and

(b)

a halt to Israel’s settlement activity.
