Independent Rex Patrick moves after similar parliamentary motions passed in Canada and the Netherlands

The proposed motion – placed on the Senate’s notice paper for 15 March – looms as a test for the major parties at a time when Australia should join the international community in taking a stand, according to the South Australian independent senator Rex Patrick.
