I move:

That the Senate declares that anyone who sacks their workers for going to the climate strikes is a bum.

I seek leave make a short statement.

The PRESIDENT: Leave is granted for one minute.

Everyone should abide by all of the applicable workplace relations laws. This is a trivial motion which the government will not be supporting.

The PRESIDENT: Leave is granted for one minute.

The opposition will not be supporting this motion, even though you have hijacked a Labor hero and tried to dress it up under your name. I guess that is because you don't have any prime ministers of your own. But this is a silly motion. It is petty. It is a waste of the Senate's time. We believe that no-one should be sacked without legitimate reason but we won't be supporting this motion today.

The question is that motion No. 144 be agreed to.
