I move:

That the Senate—

(a)

notes:

(i)

the growing tension between the United States of America (US), Israel and Iran, including recent military exercises by Israel,

(ii)

the recent statement by Israel’s Deputy Prime Minister Shaul Mofaz that Israel would attack Iran if it continued with its nuclear program, and

(iii)

that US intelligence bases in Australia are likely to be used in any US military strike on Iran; and

(b)

calls on the Government to:

(i)

support a diplomatic resolution to the crisis, and

(ii)

rule out Australian support for a military strike on Iran.

Question put.
