I, and also on behalf of Senator Milne, move:

That the Senate—

  (a)   notes the importance of clarifying and codifying best practice guidelines for Australian agencies conducting search and rescue missions at sea; and

  (b)   calls on the Government to immediately implement Recommendation 13A from the report of the 2002 Select Committee on a Certain Maritime Incident, that 'operational orders and mission tasking statements for all Australian Defence Force operations, including those involving whole of government approaches, explicitly incorporate relevant international and domestic obligations'.

The question is that the motion be agreed to.
