I seek leave to amend general business notice of motion No. 106.
Leave granted.
I move the motion as amended:
- That the Senate—
- (a) notes the high level of support in the Australian community for the Government to take international legal action to stop ‘scientific whaling’ in Australia’s Antarctic territorial waters;
- (b) expresses its continuing deep concern at the killing of the whales in Australian waters; and
- (c) urges the Government to immediately prepare international legal action to stop the killing of whales in Australian waters.
Question agreed to.
