Senate debates Questions without Notice
Afghanistan: Women’s Rights
Chris Evans WA, Australian Labor Party, Leader of the Government in the Senate

I will take on notice the part of the question in which Senator Brown asks about the reaction of the Prime Minister and I will get a response to him about that. I have not seen any public commentary. But certainly, as I have made clear, this government does not support any moves to limit the rights of women or expose them to dangers. We support their right to take a full role in their societies, be that in Afghanistan or anywhere else. I will attempt to get you an answer to the specific matter you raised about our response to the decree. (Time expired)
