Holodomor Motion passed in Australian Senate

December 6, 2020 by CYOA

The following motion passed the Senate on December 3 at 11.58am:
********
877 Senators Bilyk and Dean Smith: To move—That the Senate—
(a) notes that during the week of 22 to 29 November 2020 the Ukrainian community in Australia commemorated the 87th anniversary of the Ukrainian famine of 1932-1933, known as Holodomor;
(b) further notes that it is estimated that up to 7 million Ukrainians died of starvation, caused by the deliberate actions of Joseph Stalin’s Communist Government of the Union of Soviet Socialist Republics (USSR);
(c) encourages members and senators to support the efforts of the Ukrainian community in Australia to raise awareness of Holodomor;
(d) extends its deepest sympathies to the victims and survivors of this tragedy and their families, in particular those currently living in Australia; and

(e) expresses its support for Ukraine’s sovereignty and independence, and the efforts of the people of Ukraine to build a free and prosperous nation which respects and upholds the principles of democracy and human rights.

*********

Thank you Senator Bilyk and Senator Smith for putting forward the motion, in ensuring this genocide is never forgotten.

My motion to commemorate the Ukrainian famine of 1932-33, known as #Holodomor, passed the Senate today. This was a shameful chapter in human history that must be remembered as we support efforts of Ukraine’s people to build a free, prosperous and democratic nation. @Ozeukes pic.twitter.com/Nb3lI2ldAC
