I seek leave to amend general business notice of motion No. 350 standing in my name.

Leave granted.

I move the motion as amended:

That the Senate—

(a)

acknowledges:

(i)

the contribution made to Australia by the 5 000 Hazaras now living in Australia, and

(ii)

recent reports of discrimination and violence against Hazaras living in Afghanistan and Pakistan; and

(b)

sends its condolences to the family and supporters of Mr Hussein Ali Yousufi, the Leader of the Hazara Democratic Party, who was assassinated in Quetta City on Australia Day 2009.

Question agreed to.
