I move:

That the Senate:

(a) notes:

  (i) the past comments made by Minister Dutton, supporting the plight of the white South African farmers and suggesting that they be given priority for humanitarian visas, and

  (ii) Australia's acceptance of an additional 12,000 Syrian and Iraqi refugees between 2015 and 2017 to address displacement caused by the Syrian civil war and the fight against Islamic State;

(b) recognises the current situation of white South Africans is dire as a result of state–sanctioned persecution, resulting in racially motivated murders;

(c) as a matter of principle, strongly condemns any and all calls for the killing, marginalisation, persecution, victimisation and targeting of any racial minority group in the Republic of South Africa by any of its officials, past or present; and

(d) calls on the Government to immediately implement a humanitarian visa program, similar to the Syrian visas, for white South Africans.
