I move:

That the Senate—

  (a)   acknowledges the positive contribution made to Australian society by the Kurdish community;

  (b)   condemns the recent attacks on the Kurdish Society of Victoria, including an arson attack and shooting of their community centre; and

  (c)   calls on local and federal authorities:

     (i)   to investigate these attacks as a matter of urgency, and

     (ii)   to determine whether these attacks constitute a coordinated campaign of intimidation against the Victorian Kurdish community.

Question agreed to.
