I move:

That the Senate—
(a)
notes the evidence provided to the Government by its ship, the Oceanic Viking, of whales being slaughtered in Australia’s Antarctic Territorial waters;
(b)
expresses deep concern at the continued killing of these whales in Australian waters; and
(c)
urges the Government to take immediate action to ensure an end to the slaughter of the whale population, including through the commencement of legal action.

Question agreed to.
