At the request of Senators Brandis, Hinch, Di Natale, Hanson, Wong, Xenophon, Leyonhjelm and Lambie, I move:

That the Senate records its deep sorrow following the tragic events of 20 January in Melbourne's Bourke Street Mall, tenders its heartfelt sympathy to the families and loved ones of those affected by this tragedy, and places on record its gratitude to the Victorian police, paramedics, firefighters, as well as to the many bystanders who were among the first to respond to this senseless act with bravery, selflessness and compassion.

Question agreed to.
