I move:

That the Senate—
(a)
recognises that 13 September 2008 was the first anniversary of the United Nations Declaration on the Rights of Indigenous Peoples;
(b)
notes the promise from the Australian Labor Party that it would support the declaration; and
(c)
calls on the Rudd Government to make a statement of support for the declaration at the United Nations General Assembly in October 2008.

Question put.
