The motion

That the Parliament notes that 5 June 2008 is the 40th anniversary of the assassination of Senator Robert Francis Kennedy, shot shortly after winning the California primary contest for the Democratic Presidential nomination for the 1968 election; regrets that this act of violence robbed the world of a politician of genuine humanity and conviction, and conveys its condolences to the Kennedy family and its best wishes to his last surviving brother, Senator Edward Kennedy, for a speedy recovery from his recent illness.
