Senator HINCH (Victoria) (17:12): I move: That the Senate— (a) notes that: (i) Australia's fire and emergency (F&E) personnel have a long and proud record of serving overseas, assisting local efforts during times of need, (ii) this service has included 17 deployments over the course of 20 years—most recently, a contingent of 140 service men and women who fought deadly fires in California in September this year, (iii) currently, within Australia's honours system, there are specific honours for police, military personnel and humanitarian groups that provide emergency assistance overseas, but not one specifically designated for F&E personnel, (iv) this has had the effect of forcing F&E personnel to apply for recognition for their service under the Humanitarian Overseas Service Medal (HOSM)—an honour intended for humanitarian groups, and (v) F&E personnel are entitled to have their service recognised with a medal struck especially for them; and (b) calls on the Federal Government to create a new Fire and Emergency Service Overseas Medal to recognise F&E personnel who serve overseas during times of crisis. Honourable senators interjecting— The DEPUTY PRESIDENT: Senator Hanson-Young. Senator Hanson-Young: I seek your assistance, Madam Deputy President. We've had quite a ruckus of an afternoon. Now there is interchange across the chamber. Senators are telling other senators to simply 'cheer up' in response to bullying allegations. I'd just like to say— The DEPUTY PRESIDENT: Senator Hanson-Young, please resume your seat. There are only a couple of motions left. Senator O'Neill interjecting— Government senators interjecting— The DEPUTY PRESIDENT: Senator O'Neill and senators on my right. Senators have the right to be heard in silence. There are only a few more motions left.
