Motion (by Senator Brown) agreed to:
That the Senate—
(a) notes:
(i) that the Ballallaba Action Group, a river care environmental group based at Captains Flat, New South Wales, has launched an appeal to raise money for Hungarians who depend on the rivers affected by the cyanide spill from the mine in Romania which is co-owned by Esmeralda Exploration Ltd, and
(ii) the support for the initiative from the Archbishop of Canberra and Goulburn, and from the Ambassador of the Republic of Hungary; and
(b) congratulates the Captains Flat community, which itself has had to cope with the effects of cyanide and other contaminants from mining, for its initiative.
