I move:

That the Senate—

(a) notes:

(i) the visit to Australia by their Royal Highnesses the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge from Wednesday, 16 April 2014, to Friday, 25 April 2014,

(ii) That the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge will visit Sydney, the Blue Mountains, Brisbane, Uluru, Adelaide and Canberra, and

(iii) that 2014 marks the 60th anniversary of the first visit to Australia by Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II and that this visit included Canberra, Sydney and 10 towns in New South Wales, Hobart and six towns in Tasmania, Melbourne and 17 towns in Victoria, Adelaide and five towns in South Australia, Brisbane and six towns in Queensland, and Perth and six towns in Western Australia; and

(b) extends a warm welcome to Australia to their Royal Highnesses the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge on their first royal visit to Australia.

I seek leave to amend the motion to include His Royal Highness Prince George of Cambridge in the first and last paragraphs since we are extending a warm welcome. The formal title, I think, is to include His Royal Highness Prince George of Cambridge.

Leave granted.

What's in the water?

The PRESIDENT: Order! I couldn't agree more, Senator Edwards; I don't normally take interjections. That is completely disorderly!

I move the motion as amended:

Subparagraph (a)(i), after “their Royal Highnesses the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge”, insert “and His Royal Highness Prince George of Cambridge”.

Paragraph (b), after “their Royal Highnesses the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge”, insert “and His Royal Highness Prince George of Cambridge”.

Question agreed to.
