Subject: Tasmanian Parliament motion in support of Afghanistan transition
Dear all,
Following the inspiration speech by RAWA activist Tahmeena Faryal during
International Women's Day events, Greens MHA Peg Putt moved the motion
below in the Tasmanian House of Assembly. It passed with unanimous
support. (This is extra significant when considering that it means the
State Liberals have voiced a somewhat different position to that
expoused by Howard!)
Ms Putt has obtained an official Parliamentary certificate of the motion
signed by the Speaker of the house which will be sent to Tahmeena and RAWA.
regards,
Cath Hughes

NOTICE OF MOTION
Tuesday 12th March 2002
Ms Putt on tomorrow to move -
That this House acknowledges that oppression of the people of
Afghanistan will not cease by virtue of the transfer of power from the
Taliban to the Northern Alliance and that further steps are necessary to
attain a transition to democratic representation and government.
Accordingly this House supports a United Nations supervised transition,
requiring an increased presence of UN personnel and an augmented program
in Afghanistan to set up and supervise free and fair democratic elections.
