In Parliament Yesterday

As recorded in Hansard in the Senate:
Senator HANSON-YOUNG (South Australia)
(9.45 am)—I move:
That the Senate—
(a) notes that:
(i) Thursday, 20 November 2008, marks the 10th
International Transgender Day of Remembrance,
and
(ii) this day of action was established as a reminder of
those who have been killed as a result of antigendered
hatred or prejudice; and
And it passed, too! :)
But, um.... does this mean its official, or is there another house of Parliament (besides the Senate) which the measure needs to pass?
