(19日、非採択だったのでせこくタイトル変更(^^;)
StiffmuscleさんからTBをいただいて、明日、オーストラリア上院で慰安婦決議が動議採択されそう…という事で情報を探してやっとめっけ。
オーストラリア上院のサイトにあった
JOURNALS OF THE SENATE No. 161 (TUESDAY, 11 SEPTEMBER 2007)によると、
General business notice of motion no. 882 standing in the name of Senator Wong for today, relating to Japan and sexual slavery during World War II, postponed till 19 September 2007.
Wong上院議員によって本日提出された動議882は、19日に延期って。。。あれ? Nettle議員じゃない。
調べてみると、
Wong上院議員は労働党所属。現在のオーストラリア上院は(
外務省の情報によると)定員が76人で「保守連合39、労働党28、民主党4、グリーン党4、家族優先党1」という構成。
前回のオーストラリア上院の「慰安婦」動議を提出したのは緑の党で、、、賛成34・反対36で否決。
これは恐らく。。。
どうやら、多分こちらで中継するみたいようです。

JOURNALS OF THE SENATE No. 160 (MONDAY, 10 SEPTEMBER 2007)より
Senator Wong: To move on the next day of sitting―That the Senate―
(a) notes that:
(i) between 1932 and 1945, more than 200 000 women and children of Korean, Chinese, Filipino, Indonesian, Burmese and Dutch origin were kidnapped or forced into a sex slavery system enforced by the Japanese Imperial Army,
(ii) these victims, some as young as 12, were systematically raped and tortured in so-called ‘comfort stations’, and coerced to have sex with up to 40 soldiers a day, every day for years,
(iii) 62 years later the Japanese Government still refuses to accept
responsibility for this crime, or acknowledge it’s guilt, or to apologise to
the hundreds of thousands of women who suffered from these inhumane deeds, and
(iv) 44 members of the Japanese Parliament recently took out an advertisement in the Washington Post denying that this sex slavery ever occurred; and
(b) calls on the Government to:
(i) urge the Japanese Diet to pass a resolution to formally apologise to the
women who were forced into sexual slavery during the Second World War,
(ii) urge the Japanese Government to provide fair compensation to these victims, and
(iii) urge the Japanese Government to accurately teach the history of comfort
women in Japanese schools. (general business notice of motion no. 882)
