I, and also on behalf of Senator Singh, move:

That the Senate—

(a) notes that the International Campaign to Abolish Nuclear Weapons (ICAN) was launched in Melbourne in 2007, and is now made up of more than 450 civil society organisations in more than 100 countries;

(b) welcomes ICAN's work to draw attention to the catastrophic humanitarian consequences of any use of nuclear weapons, and its efforts to achieve the prohibition of such weapons; and

(c) congratulates ICAN on winning the 2017 Nobel Peace Prize.

Question agreed to.
