Perhaps the minister could clarify the question of just how many citizens there are? I think you mentioned 'several'. If you've got a number, I'd appreciate that. The Chinese government are committing cultural genocide against the Uygur people. We are seeing unjust incarceration, forced political indoctrination, restrictions on movement, intrusive surveillance and religious oppression. Following our joint statement at the United Nations Human Rights Council, what are the next steps, and how is Australia working with countries in the region to generate action through the United Nations?
