by leave—I move the motion as amended:

That the Senate—

(a)

notes the suicide of three prisoners at Guantanamo Bay, none of whom, despite years in captivity, had been charged or brought before a court;

(b)

recognises that Australian citizen David Hicks has been detained in the prison for more than 4 years without trial;

(c)

calls on the Government to take active measures to influence the United States Administration to close Guantanamo Bay and return Mr Hicks to Australia; and

(d)

takes urgent action to ensure that Mr Hicks receives a full and fair trial that meets international standards of human rights and justice.

Question put.
