I feel a bit like a jack in the box. At the request of Senator Whish-Wilson, I move:

That the Senate—

(a) notes the Government of Brunei Darussalam's recently adopted penal code, which threatens the human rights of minority groups, including women, religious minorities and lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender individuals; and

(b) calls on the Government to insist that Brunei address these human rights violations as a condition of it participating any further in the Trans-Pacific Partnership trade negotiations.
