Senator Bob Brown
asked the Minister representing the Minister for Foreign Affairs, upon notice, on 23 June 2008:
(a) When will Australia fully implement its obligations under the Convention on Cluster Munitions; and (b) what are those obligations.
Senator Faulkner (Special Minister of State and Cabinet Secretary)
—The following answer has been provided by the Minister for Foreign Affairs to the honourable senator’s question:
(a) & (b) The Convention is not open for signature until 3 December 2008. Australia has no obligations at present as it has neither signed nor ratified the draft convention. The Government will review the provisional treaty text closely prior to its opening for signature. The Government is confident that Australia will be in a position to sign the treaty before the end of the year.
