I move:

That the Senate—

(a) notes:

(i) homosexual acts were decriminalised in Victoria in 1981 but that convictions prior to that date can still appear on a Victorian person's police record, and

(ii) that the United Kingdom (UK) recently enacted legislation to expunge historic convictions for homosexual acts which were imposed prior to the decriminalisation of homosexuality in the UK; and

(b) calls on all Australian states and territories to enact legislation that expressly purges convictions imposed on people prior to the decriminalisation of homosexual conduct.

Question agreed to.
