‹ Order of Business Austrian presidential election
Summary
Senator O'Sullivan welcomed Alexander Van der Bellen's election in Austria as a positive sign for Europe and urged others to follow that example of unity.
In times of darkness it was great to see a positive light being shone on Europe recently, with the election of the Austrian President, Alexander 'Sascha' Van der Bellen. On behalf of all of my Green colleagues across Europe, I welcome this great election. I hope other countries will take a lead from Austria in order that we can work towards a united Europe, as I believe united we stand, divided we fall. This man is taking the lead in Austria.
