Independent Monitoring Commission Bill 2003: Second Stage.
Senator Bradford mentioned decommissioning and I do not doubt the wisdom of what he said. It is an issue that remains on the table and must be faced. Senator Mansergh made the similar point that this will not simply go away; it must be addressed. As he correctly said, acts of completion cannot be forced by external agents on the republican movement but, by the same token, the logic of history and the momentum of events is a much stronger force than requests of Governments.
