Senator BROWN (12:42 PM) —The minister knows full well that, under this law, the royalties to Nelson Mandela would be confiscated in Australia. I could ask about Dai Ching, the great Chinese environmental activist who has been held under house arrest—and about all the democrats who have been imprisoned in China as a result of a Tiananmen Square for nothing more than upholding democracy. They have been found guilty of a criminal offence in a foreign country. We could go to the author of the The Killing Fields—the book goes by a different name, but we all know the film—who was held in Kampuchea. This is abhorrent legislation. It is clumsy, it is repugnant and it must be stopped. This reach is poorly thought out, because this legislation is being rushed through the Senate for election purposes by the Howard government. But the consequences are enormous. We cannot as a nation allow this to happen. The Senate must not allow this to happen. If the minister cannot explain the ramifications of this section, I will move that we report progress so that over the weekend he can get better information.
