I move:
That the Senate—
- (a)
- notes the intention of the Government to hold an inquiry into the Montara oil spill; and
- (b)
- calls on the Government to ensure that the terms of reference for the inquiry include:
- (i)
- the resource management implications of the oil spill,
- (ii)
- the environmental impact and potential impact of the oil spill,
- (iii)
- an assessment of the management and effectiveness of responses to the oil spill, including coordination across the Commonwealth Government and across jurisdictions,
- (iv)
- the provision and accessibility of relevant information to affected stakeholders and the public, and
- (v)
- other related matters.
