We need to be supporting it to move it forward. In the last week of parliament, with a summer break coming up, I think there is a lot of goodwill to have this agreement move forward. This motion is simply an effort to have that goodwill expressed by the parliament. It is very disappointing that, while it welcomes the agreement, the opposition is unable to bring itself to give support where it should be giving support.

Question put:

That the motion (Senator Bob Brown’s) be agreed to.
