I move:

That the Senate—

(a)

notes the evidence provided to the Government by its ship, the Oceanic Viking, of whales being slaughtered in Australia’s Antarctic Territorial waters;

(b)

expresses deep concern at the continued killing of these whales in Australian waters; and

(c)

urges the Government to take immediate action to ensure an end to the slaughter of the whale population, including through the commencement of legal action.

Question agreed to.
