I move:
That the Senate notes the Australian Government's efforts to urge Chinese authorities to:
(a) address the underlying causes of tension in Tibetan regions;
(b) end the use of harsh policies, such as increased surveillance and violent crack downs, which have only exacerbated the security situation in Tibetan areas;
(c) lift restrictions on access to Tibetan regions, including for international media and diplomats; and
(d) resume substantive talks with the Dalai Lama's representatives to prevent the situation deteriorating further.
Question agreed to.
