I move:

That the Senate—

(a)

notes that 14 August 2007 was the parliamentary launch of Securing our Survival (SOS): The Case for a Nuclear Weapons Convention, published by the International Campaign to Abolish Nuclear Weapons;

(b)

considers that a nuclear weapons convention would offer the international community the best way to prevent proliferation and nuclear terrorism and achieve disarmament; and

(c)

urges the Government to actively pursue multinational negotiations, leading to a nuclear weapons convention.

Question negatived.

I seek leave to table a copy of Securing our survival (SOS): the case for a nuclear weapons convention, which was released today in Parliament House.

Leave granted.
