I, and also on behalf of Senator Milne, move:

That the Senate—

  (a)   notes the importance of clarifying and codifying best practice guidelines for Australian agencies conducting search and rescue missions at sea; and

  (b)   calls on the Government to immediately implement Recommendation 13A from the report of the 2002 Select Committee on a Certain Maritime Incident, that 'operational orders and mission tasking statements for all Australian Defence Force operations, including those involving whole of government approaches, explicitly incorporate relevant international and domestic obligations'.
