In line with the government's longstanding view, motions that cannot be debated or amended should not deal with complex foreign policy matters. The North Sentinel Islands are governed by India. The Australian government does not comment on the domestic political security or immigration policies of other countries but recognises and appreciates the efforts of the Indian government to protect this unique environment and the people who live there.
