I move:
- That the Senate—
- (a)
- notes the continued suspension of processing asylum claims from Afghan nationals, which is due to end on 9 October 2010; and
- (b)
- calls on the Government to immediately lift its suspension of Afghan asylum applications, restoring the right of people seeking protection from persecution to have their claims assessed in a fair and timely manner.
Question agreed to.
