I move:

That the Senate—
(a)
notes the imposition of new restrictions on the distribution of foreign news in China;
(b)
condemns any move by the Chinese Government to impose unfair restrictions on foreign press freedom; and
(c)
calls on the Minister for Foreign Affairs (Mr Downer) to investigate the matter.

Question put.
