CE (—) (): That goes to the point that it's not Australia's view. But there is no transparent process that people can be part of and that the community can be part of as to why or why not targeted sanctions are being applied, or not being applied, for people who are absolutely—there is no doubt whatsoever—human right abusers, who would be eligible under this legislation as it stands, and certainly under the revised legislation, to have sanctions taken against them. Minister, in the Autonomous Sanctions (Designated and Declared Persons—Myanmar) Amendment (Continuation of Effect) Instrument 2021 you maintained the designation of five people: Aung Kyaw Zaw, Maung Maung Soe, Aung Aung, Than Oo and Khin Maung Soe. Did you consider sanctioning Min Aung Hlaing, the commander-in-chief and the leader of the coup, when you made that designation?
