I, and also on behalf of Senators Farrell and Cash, move:

That the Senate—

(a) notes:

  (i) the success of the South Australian Head of the River School rowing regatta which took place on 25 March 2017,

  (ii) that the regatta featured over 1,000 student athletes and thousands of supportive parents, coaches and South Australian rowing officials, and

  (iii) that over 50 per cent of athletes competing in the regatta were female, who also comprise a majority of the rowers registered with the South Australian Rowing Association;

(b) congratulates the South Australian Rowing Association for its success in encouraging participation in rowing, and particularly for the high level of participation by female athletes; and

(c) commends Rowing Australia and its member state associations for their efforts in promoting rowing and their aim to be the world's number one rowing nation.

Question agreed to.
