Community leaders

Debate resumed on motion of Mary-Anne Thomas:

That this house records its sincere thanks to community leaders across Victoria, particularly those who have stood with Victorians targeted by vilification and division arising from recent anti-immigration protests, for their steadfast commitment to a safe, united and multicultural Victoria.

And Matthew Guy’s amendment:

That the word ‘anti-immigration’ be omitted.

The SPEAKER: The minister has moved the motion as set out on the notice paper. The member for Bulleen has moved an amendment to the motion. He has proposed to omit the word which appears on the notice paper. The question is:
