I would like the Senate to note that over the last two days the Labor Party, along with their alliance partners the Greens, have voted against noting three international agreements that we are signatories to and that support sustainable environmental protection. I think it is worth noting. They are: CITES, the Convention on International Trade in Endangered Species of Wild Fauna and Flora; the Convention on Biological Diversity; and the Convention on Wetlands of International Importance, the Ramsar convention.
