I move:

That the Senate—

  (a)   notes the contribution to Australia's vibrant multicultural society by citizens of all cultures and religions;

  (b)   condemns anyone who vilifies any cultural or religious group;

  (c)   notes:

     (i)   the application by Dutch politician Mr Geert Wilders to visit Australia to speak against multiculturalism and Muslim immigration, and

     (ii)   with alarm, his public statements describing Muslim culture as retarded and barbaric and comparing the Koran to Mein Kampf; and

  (d)   calls on all members of the Australian Parliament to reject the hateful anti-Muslim views of Mr Wilders and his Australian sponsors.
