Description

  • <p class="speaker">Sue Lines</p>
  • <p>The question now is that the amendment to the amended motion be agreed to.</p>
  • <p class="speaker">Simon Birmingham</p>
  • <p>On behalf of the coalition, I ask that paragraphs (l) and (m) be put separately on the motion as amended. These paragraphs, in the coalition's perspective, given the defeat of our proposed amendments, do not reflect appropriately what had previously been the longstanding bipartisan approach towards a negotiated two-state solution, nor do they accurately reflect the international approach in relation to securing lasting peace and security.</p>
  • <p class="speaker">Sue Lines</p>
  • <p>Senator Birmingham has requested that paragraphs (l) and (m) be moved separately, so we will deal with these two amendments first. The question is that paragraphs (l) and (m) be agreed to.</p>
  • <p class="italic"> <i>A division having been called and the bells being rung&#8212;</i></p>
  • <p class="speaker">Sarah Hanson-Young</p>
  • <p>I'm wondering whether the two clauses could be put separately.</p>
  • <p class="speaker">Sue Lines</p>
  • <p>If that's your request then we can do that, Senator Hanson-Young. I am advised that we will put the question again. Senator Hanson-Young has requested that paragraphs (l) and (m) be put separately. It is my intention to move paragraph (l). The question is that paragraph (l) be agreed to.</p>
  • <p class="italic"> <i>A division having been called and the bells being rung&#8212;</i></p>
  • <p>While we're waiting for the bells, I have been asked to read paragraph (l). On the original motion, this was paragraph (k). It says that the Senate:</p>
  • <p class="italic">(l) stresses the need to break the cycle of violence and supports international efforts to negotiate and secure de escalate, for a ceasefire in Gaza and in Lebanon, and for lasting peace and security for Israeli, Palestinian, Lebanese and all people in the region;</p>
  • <p>That is what we are voting on now.</p>
