Here and Now
Last Thursday, 10 August 2006, the Greens Senator Kerry Nettle moved a motion urging the
government to support an immediate ceasefire in Israel and Lebanon. I present the text below:
THE MOTION:
The Australian Senate
(a) notes that the details of any ceasefire in the Middle East will
be controversial but given the ongoing tragic loss of life any immediate ceasefire is better than no ceasefire
And
(b) calls on the Australian government to support an immediate ceasefire
The motion was not supported by the government or Labor party.
Of course, I only found out about it through the Greens news list. Thought I'd share.
