Senate debates Motions
Noble, Mr Marlon, United Nations Committee on the Rights of Persons with Disabilities
Katy Gallagher ACT, Australian Labor Party

Labor will not be supporting this motion. We do not think it is appropriate to support it when we were not given enough prior notice to fully look into the case in question and before a Senate inquiry on the exact topic has reported. We do not want to pre-empt the report of the Senate Community Affairs References Committee's inquiry into the indefinite detention of people with cognitive and psychiatric impairment in Australia.
