I move:
- That the Senate—
- (a)
- notes:
- (i)
- the deteriorating security situation in North Asia following North Korea’s nuclear test,
- (ii)
- that India is not a signatory to the Nuclear Non-Proliferation Treaty (NPT),
- (iii)
- that the India-United States of America (US) nuclear deal contravenes the NPT, and
- (iv)
- that any sale of Australian uranium would contravene the NPT; and
- (b)
- calls on the Government to use its position in the Nuclear Suppliers Group to block the India-US nuclear deal and reject any sale of uranium to India.
Question put.
