I, and also on behalf of Senators Bullock, Wright, Day and Bernardi, move:

That the Senate—

(a) notes that:

(i) 15 June 2015 is the 800th anniversary of the sealing of the Magna Carta by King John of England, and

(ii) the enduring legacy of the Magna Carta has been its statement of basic rights and liberties of people under law; and

(b) affirms the Magna Carta's place as a foundation stone of the rule of law in Australia and its constitutional legacy for democratic societies around the world.

Question agreed to.
