My question is to the Minister for Foreign Affairs. Last week Four Corners showed the heartbreaking stories of families torn apart by China's mass incarceration of Uygurs and other Muslim minorities in Xinjiang. More than one million people have been put in massive internment camps, including those who call Australia home and those with relatives in Australia. Minister, I welcome your intervention to request that Sadam Abudusalamu's wife and baby son be allowed to travel to Australia. As far as the government is aware, how many Australian citizens are currently in Xinjiang, and what is your government doing to secure the release of other Australians and their families, like fast-tracking visa processes?
