HON ALISON XAMON (North Metropolitan) [9.57 pm]: I rise to acknowledge that today is World Autism Awareness Day. The aim of the day, as the name would suggest, is to increase awareness of the millions of autistic children across the world, and by doing so decrease discrimination and increase investment into research.

Motion

HON SAMANTHA ROWE (East Metropolitan — Parliamentary Secretary) [1.10 pm]: I move —
