Deputy Speaker, I move without notice: That the House -
(1) notes that the Mentawai Islands, Indonesia, were hit by a tsunami on late Monday evening, 25 October 2010, triggered by an earthquake off the coast of West Sumatra;
(2) further notes that most recent reports state that an estimated 112 people lost their lives and 152 were missing;
(3) acknowledges that this tragedy struck amidst the volcanic eruption of Mt Merapi on Tuesday, 26 October 2010, that left 24 people dead and thousands fleeing for their lives;
(4) sympathises with the Indonesian government and general populace during this time of hardship and grief; and
5) calls upon the international community to assist in any way possible.
Agreed to.
