QUESTIONS WITHOUT NOTICE

Ms BOELE (Bradfield) (14:30): My question is to the Deputy Prime Minister. Today marks 80 years since the US began nuclear testing in the Marshall Islands. It's also 63 years since Britain last tested on Australian soil and 30 years since France last detonated bombs on French Polynesia.

Our Pacific family is calling loudly and clearly for us to honour the legacy of the lives lost and damaged by disease and the environments destroyed, by committing to ban nuclear weapons. When will the government sign the United Nations Treaty on the Prohibition of Nuclear Weapons?
