Motion (by Senator O'Brien, at the request of Senator Schacht) agreed to:

That the Senate—

(a) notes that the so-called `Elgin Marbles' were pillaged from the Parthenon in the early 19th century and are now held at the British Museum; and

(b) strongly urges the British Government to take all necessary action to ensure that the marbles are returned to their rightful place in Greece as a matter of urgency.
