I move:

That the Senate—

(a)

notes the death of Colin Thiele, a children’s writer from South Australia;

(b)

recognises that Mr Thiele helped form children’s respect and love for the Australian landscape as well as telling good stories; and

(c)

notes that Mr Thiele loved writing for children and did a great deal to continue a very fine tradition of Australian writing for the young.

Question agreed to.
