I, and also on behalf of Senators Siewert, Birmingham and Singh, move:

That the Senate—

(a) expresses its deep gratitude for the great contribution to the protection of Australia's environment and the advancement of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander land rights made by the late Phillip Toyne; in particular his contribution to the establishment of Landcare, his enduring commitment to the Australian Conservation Foundation and the Australian Bush Heritage Foundation, as well as his contribution in helping convince the Hawke Government to hand back Uluru to its traditional owners; and

(b) conveys its sympathy and condolences to his wife Molly and sons Jamie, Atticus and Aaron.

Question agreed to.
