At the request of Senator Nash, I move:

That the Senate—

(a)

notes the sad passing of Mrs Nancy Bird-Walton who died at the age of 93 on 13 January 2009;

(b)

notes and commends her significant and inspirational achievements as an aviation pioneer in Australia;

(c)

pays tribute to her service to Australian aviation including through the foundation of the Australian Women Pilots’ Association and her longstanding support for the Royal Flying Doctor Service; and

(d)

expresses its sincere condolences and profound sympathy to her family and loved ones.

Question agreed to.
