On behalf of Senator Steele-John, I move:

That the following matter be referred to the Foreign Affairs, Defence and Trade References Committee for inquiry and report by 30 November 2020:

The reassessment of the Australia-Hong Kong Free Trade Agreement (A-HKFTA), with particular reference to:

(a) the appropriateness of the A-HKFTA given the passage and imposition of China's national security law in Hong Kong;

(b) whether Hong Kong still enjoys the high degree of autonomy valued by Australia through the 'One Country, Two Systems' framework;

(c) ongoing human rights abuses and repression in Hong Kong; and

(d) any other related matters.
