Senator DI NATALE (Victoria—Leader of the Australian Greens) (16:43): I ask that general business notice of motion 158, standing in my name for today, relating to West Papua, be taken as a formal motion. Senator McGrath: My understanding is that we are going to deny formality, but Senator Di Natale wants to seek leave to then speak for a minute. The PRESIDENT: Formality is denied. Senator DI NATALE: Rather than suspending standing orders, I seek leave to make a one minute statement. The PRESIDENT: Leave is granted for one minute. Senator DI NATALE: It is disappointing that once again the government is denying the Greens the opportunity to put forward a motion on foreign policy. We think this is an appropriate form in which to do it. Today is the day of the national flag of West Papua. It is a day that is celebrated in West Papua, where there is a community whose human rights are being oppressed, where we are seeing political prisoners imprisoned at an alarming rate and where reports from Amnesty International indicate that the situation is getting worse rather than better. What the Greens are urging for here is to open up West Papua to human rights monitors, to deal with the issue of political prisoners and for Australia to show some leadership on the international stage. We urge that issues like this are allowed to be put forward through motions so that we do not have to endure more suspensions of standing orders.
