This motion not only expresses serious concerns about the proposal to open the door to race hate but also seeks to congratulate people from right around the country who are working tirelessly to protect the right of every person to live without the fear of discrimination. In particular, it congratulates people like Erin Chew and Kingsley Liu from the Project 18C campaign—people who have worked with local councils from right across the country, now with 48 councils signing onto resolutions representing over five million constituents who have expressed their concern about the changes to the Racial Discrimination Act. It is through actions like these from local councils and the work of people like those people behind Project 18C that we will see this racist, hateful discrimination defeated here in this place in the Senate.

Question agreed to.
