I rise to speak on this motion to celebrate and reaffirm the Australian values of a fair go and mutual respect. Our Australia is one in which we find unity in our diversity. We are defined not by one race but by many, we are defined not by one culture but by many, we are defined not by one religion but by many and we are defined not by one way of life but by many. What joins us is that we call ourselves Australian. As citizens of this country, each of our destinies is tied to all the others and that is what makes us strong.

Question agreed to.
