I move:

That the Senate:

(a)

notes:

(i)

the recent statements by the United States of America military lawyer Major Mori that Australian citizen Mr David Hicks wanted to join the Australian Defence Force but was unable to because of his education qualifications, and

(ii)

that Mr Hicks has been detained for 1,930 days; and

(b)

calls on the Government to return Mr Hicks to Australia.

Question negatived.
