I move:

That the Senate—
(a)
notes the arrest of a farmer in Victoria who opposed the Sugarloaf Pipeline, which is being forcibly constructed from the Goulburn Valley to Melbourne; and
(b)
calls on the Minister for the Environment, Heritage and the Arts (Mr Garrett) to urgently reconsider his approval of this costly, environmentally-unsound and controversial project.

Question agreed to.
