I move:

That the Senate—

(a)

recognises, with the Australian Government, the effective protection of Antarctica that is already in place through global agreements;

(b)

notes that Australia is an active participant in the Antarctic Treaty Consultative Meeting and plays a lead role in its Committee for Environmental Protection; and

(c)

calls on the Australian Government to pursue the lead role towards inscribing Antarctica on the World Cultural and Natural Heritage list.
