To the Honourable President and members of the Senate in Parliament assembled:

The petition of the undersigned shows that we are concerned that cluster munitions are a large cause of death and disability to civilian populations and that the Criminal Code Amendment (Cluster Munitions Prohibition) Bill 2010 does not meet Australia's obligations under the Convention on Cluster Munitions.

Your petitioners ask that the Senate vote to amend the Criminal Code Amendment (Cluster Munitions Prohibition) Bill 2010 to more closely reflect the goals of the Convention on Cluster Munitions towards achieving a total ban on cluster munitions.

by Senator Humphries (by 10 citizens).

Petitions received.
