Senator XENOPHON (South Australia) (12:25): I seek leave to make a short statement. The DEPUTY PRESIDENT: Leave is granted for one minute. Senator XENOPHON: This motion relates to ensuring that the screening at our airports is consistent, including the ground staff. At the moment, ground staff, baggage handlers, cleaners, caterers and others who have an ASIC card aren't necessarily screened when they have access to an aircraft, unlike all passengers, pilots and crew of an aircraft. This motion came about as a result of discussions I've had with the peak pilots body in this country, AusALPA, which represents 5,000 commercial airline pilots, whose foremost concern is the safety of their passengers. This motion is about calling on the government to close a loophole in the screening at our airports. I urge honourable senators to support this motion. The DEPUTY PRESIDENT: The question is that the motion moved by Senator Xenophon be agreed to.
