I seek leave to amend the motion by deleting the words 'also growing' in the terms circulated in the chamber.

Leave granted.

I move:

That the Senate—

(a) congratulates Mr Sebastian Kurz and the Austrian People' s Party on their election result which sees Mr Kurz poised to become both Chancellor of the Republic of Austria, and the world' s youngest national leader;

(b) notes the rising voices in support of conservative principles, like that of Mr Kurz and his party, in Europe; and

(c) further notes the similar voices in support for sovereign nations withdrawing from the European Union.
