Question

Mr Fox: This analysis was undertaken by the Australian Border Force, and, as far as I understand it, it indicates that Australia's imports from companies in the Uyghur Forced Labor Prevention Act are statistically negligible. Senator CANAVAN: What does 'statistically negligible' mean? Mr Fox: I'll have to take that on notice. Senator CANAVAN: It means 'not zero', though, presumably?
