Senator DI NATALE (Victoria—Leader of the Australian Greens) (17:06): I ask that general business notice of motion No. 1317 standing in my name relating to Uygurs be taken as a formal motion. The PRESIDENT: Is there any objection to this motion being taken as formal? There is. Senator DI NATALE: I seek leave to make a one-minute statement. The PRESIDENT: Leave is granted for one minute. Senator DI NATALE: Once again we see the hypocrisy of the government in accepting some foreign policy motions—the ones that it likes—and, of course, rejecting the ones that it doesn't like, denying formality again and again. Like many Australians, the Greens are appalled by the reports that are now coming in about the persecution of the Uygur people. There are images of mass internment camps. We're seeing pictures of surveillance devices tracking ordinary citizens' everyday movements. People are banned from going to mosque and praying. Australian citizens and residents are being detained in these so-called re-education camps. We know that the activities of Australian citizens here in Australia are being monitored. And thus far all we've got from the Morrison government is a mealy-mouthed response about how our consular officials are apparently raising concerns behind closed doors. We need a strong statement from this government condemning the human rights abuses going on in China right now. (Time expired)
