I move:

That the Senate—
(a)
notes:
(i)
the deteriorating security situation in North Asia following North Korea’s nuclear test,
(ii)
that India is not a signatory to the Nuclear Non-Proliferation Treaty (NPT),
(iii)
that the India-United States of America (US) nuclear deal contravenes the NPT, and
(iv)
that any sale of Australian uranium would contravene the NPT; and
(b)
calls on the Government to use its position in the Nuclear Suppliers Group to block the India-US nuclear deal and reject any sale of uranium to India.

Question put.
