I share Senator Brian Hayes's hopes for progress in Northern Ireland. I request that the Leader ask the Minister for Foreign Affairs to take careful note of developments with regard to the military courts being established in the United States to try people who have been incommunicado with no access to lawyers for nearly 18 months. It appears the trials of some of them will take place behind closed doors. If this was happening in any other country there would be uproar. Given our long-standing and strong connections, we have some influence with the United States and should object to this sort of kangaroo court. It is not right that the norms of international law should be so bypassed. Once this kind of approach is taken in one country, particularly such an important country, how do we know it will not start somewhere else?
