I move:

That the Senate—

(a)   notes that three United Nations human rights experts have urged the Parliament of Western Australia not to adopt new anti-protest laws which would criminalise legitimate protests, including those by environmentalists and human rights defenders;

(b)   recognises the important role public protest and free speech have played, and continue to play, in a healthy democratic society; and

(c)   calls on the Government of Western Australia to abandon these divisive and unnecessary laws.

Question agreed to.
