and I seek leave to amend the motion.
Leave granted.
I amend general business notice of motion No. 1133 standing in my name and in the names of Senators Sterle and Siewert for today relating to the ATSISPEP Kimberley Roundtable Report and move the motion as amended:
That the Senate —
(a) calls upon the Government to recognise and act on the increasing prevalence of aboriginal suicide in Western Australia's Kimberley region; and
(b) notes the urgency contained in the findings of the report of the ATSISPEP Kimberley Suicide Prevention Roundtable Report.

Is the amendment as was circulated? I just want to make sure.
Stephen Parry President
We are just clarifying: it is as circulated. The question is that that motion as amended be agreed to.
Question agreed to.
