Motion (by Senator Brown)—as amended, by leave—agreed to:

That the Senate—

(a) recalls the laudable role of the United Kingdom (UK) leading to a global agreement to ban commercial whaling 15 years ago;

(b) notes speculation that the UK is reviewing that policy to allow for some commercial whale killing; and

(c) calls on the Prime Minister of the UK, Tony Blair, and his government to hold firm to its policy of banning whaling, and to fully support Australia's plan for a South Pacific whale sanctuary at the London meeting of the International Whaling Commission in July 2001.
