Senator Stott Despoja to move, on the next day of sitting:
That the Senate—
(a) notes:
(i) the comments of Professor Nadine Strossen, President of the American Civil Liberties Union, that the Government's internet censorship laws are `draconian and repressive', and
(ii) the specific concerns of Professor Strossen that:
(a) the child protection argument advanced by the Government to support the legislation has previously been rejected by the United States Supreme Court, and
(b) the internet cannot be censored for children without censorship for everybody;
(b) calls on the Government to repeal the internet censorship legislation; and
(c) recognises that:
(i) the Government's internet censorship legislation is forcing Australian business overseas, and
(ii) parents should exercise their responsibility to determine what their children should view.
Senator Allison to move, on the next day of sitting:
That the Senate—
(a) notes:
(i) that the More Intensive and Flexible Services pilot program for people with disabilities is one of the Commonwealth's most successful programs, providing support and assistance to people with chronic, unstable or high support needs and to people with multiple disabilities,
(ii) that, to date, the program has enabled up to 80 per cent of those on the program to access vocationally-oriented courses,
(iii) that some 200 new entrants to the program have been referred for initial assessments in recent weeks, and
(iv) the Government has announced that the program will finish in December 1999, even though no performance review has been undertaken with regards to the program; and
(b) calls on the Minister for Family and Community Services (Senator Newman):
(i) to conduct, as a matter of urgency, an assessment review of the program, and
(ii) to provide for the necessary funds in the forthcoming budget to allow the continuance of the program until such a review is conducted and/or an alternative program is negotiated.
Senator Murray to move, on the next day of sitting:
That the Petroleum Retail Marketing Sites Amendment Regulations 1999 (No. 2), as contained in Statutory Rules 1999 No. 163 and made under the Petroleum Retail Marketing Sites Act 1980 , be disallowed.
Senator Ian Campbell to move, on the next day of sitting:
That the Senate authorises the publication by electronic means, including by the internet, in sound and visual images, of proceedings of the Senate and its committees, subject to the rules applying to radio and television broadcasting of Senate and committee proceedings.
