I move:

That the Senate acknowledges the important work of federal public servants to address the ongoing Coronavirus outbreak, including:

(a) consular staff and other public servants who have gone into high-risk areas like Wuhan to evacuate Australians;

(b) officials from agencies in Health and Home Affairs who have managed stringent quarantine procedures, including in the facilities on Christmas Island and near Darwin;

(c) the Chief Medical Officer, Professor Brendan Murphy, and the Department of Health, which have led the public health response to the outbreak; and

(d) scientists at the Commonwealth Scientific and Industrial Research Organisation, whose research is forming an integral part of the rapid global response to the outbreak.

Question agreed to.
