I move:

That the Senate calls on the Government to inform the Senate by 13 June 2007 on the following matters:

(a)

the number of civilians displaced by the war in Iraq, both internally and externally;

(b)

the circumstances of these Iraqi refugees;

(c)

what aid or assistance is going to the refugees and what component of that aid comes from the Australian Government;

(d)

how many such refugees have been accommodated in Australia and what plans there are to give refuge to more; and

(e)

what calls from the United Nations, the Red Cross or any other international agencies have been made to nations, including Australia, to meet the refugees’ needs.

Question put.
