I seek leave to amend general business notice of motion No. 106.

Leave granted.

I move the motion as amended:

That the Senate—
(a)   notes the high level of support in the Australian community for the Government to take international legal action to stop ‘scientific whaling’ in Australia’s Antarctic territorial waters;
(b)   expresses its continuing deep concern at the killing of the whales in Australian waters; and
(c)   urges the Government to immediately prepare international legal action to stop the killing of whales in Australian waters.

Question agreed to.
