I seek leave to amend general business notice of motion No. 92 standing in my name by removing the words ‘provide further’ and substituting the word ‘ensure’. A copy of this amendment has been given to the whips.

Leave granted.

I move the motion as amended:

That the Senate calls on the Federal Government to investigate and review anti-discrimination laws across Australia and the need to ensure protection to same-sex couples and LGBTI [lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender and intersex] Australians.

Question agreed to.
