I seek leave to move a motion relating to the UN's Universal Periodic Review as circulated.

Leave not granted.

Pursuant to contingent notice standing in the name of Senator Waters, I move:

That so much of the standing orders be suspended as would prevent me moving a motion to provide for the consideration of a matter, namely a motion to give precedence to a motion relating to the Universal Periodic Review.

It is quite extraordinary that the Albanese Labor government's response to the UN periodic review about Australia's human rights record, which recommended some 332 changes to Australia's human rights laws, was to reject 204 recommendations. And we only found out about this because the response was published on a fairly hard-to-identify part of the UN's website.
