I move:

That the Senate—

(a) acknowledges the efforts of the Sea Shepherd in tracking, locating and reporting to authorities the presence of illegal fishing vessels in the Southern Ocean; and

(b) calls on the Australian Government to meet its election commitment and immediately deploy a customs patrol vessel to the Southern Ocean to deter illegal fishing.

Mr Deputy President, I seek leave to make a very short statement.
