I would like to acknowledge Amad Mohamed—a proud Canberra and co-founder of the Sudanese-Australian Advocacy Network—along with other members of the Sudanese community in the gallery today. I thank you for your tireless advocacy and for continuing to speak out on this humanitarian tragedy. We stand with you in this time of tragedy for your community. I also wish to thank senators across this chamber for their constructive engagement, particularly Senators Scarr, Shoebridge and Green. I would really like to extend my sincere thanks and acknowledge the government and Minister Wong's office for their efforts, and I commend the announcement overnight of Australia's $10 million in humanitarian assistance for the people of Sudan.
