‹ Order of Business Uganda’s anti-gay legislation
Summary
Jerry Buttimer urges the Government to raise Uganda’s newly enacted anti-gay laws internationally; the Chair advises him to pursue the matter through his topical-issue request.
In light of the decision of the Ugandan President yesterday to sign anti-gay laws into practice, what plans does our Government have to raise the issue? I accept there is no pending legislation on this matter, but this is a matter of serious importance for us as a Western democracy. We must work with African countries.
