I move:

That the Senate—
(a)
expresses its deep sorrow and condolences at the massive destruction and loss of life and trauma suffered by people affected by the earthquake in southwest China; and
(b)
hopes the rescue services have maximum success and that suffering is minimised by the rapid assistance from the Chinese people and the international community.

Question agreed to.
