US Issues of Forced Labour

Question

Senator CANAVAN: Yes. Okay. We're getting there. Has the US administration particularly highlighted our approach to, say, solar-panel importations, compared to theirs? Mr Mina: Not to my knowledge. They have used examples such as these in relation to the way in which their forced-labour regime operates and the way they'd like to see other- Senator CANAVAN: Well, not to your knowledge-but my question is broader. Is the department or anyone in the department aware of US officials raising the issues of forced labour- Mr Mina: We can take that on notice.
