I seek leave to amend the motion by deleting the words 'also growing' in the terms circulated in the chamber.

Leave granted.

I move:

That the Senate—

(a) congratulates Mr Sebastian Kurz and the Austrian People' s Party on their election result which sees Mr Kurz poised to become both Chancellor of the Republic of Austria, and the world' s youngest national leader;

(b) notes the rising voices in support of conservative principles, like that of Mr Kurz and his party, in Europe; and

(c) further notes the similar voices in support for sovereign nations withdrawing from the European Union.

The question is that business of the Senate notice of motion No. 533, moved by Senator Bernardi, be agreed to.
