Mr Tony Burke (Watson, Australian Labor Party, Shadow Minister for Finance) Share this | Hansard source

My question is to the Minister for Foreign Affairs. I refer to ongoing concerns about asbestos entering the Australian construction industry through illegal imports. Has the minister had any discussions with her international counterparts about a treaty to combat the trafficking of asbestos? If so, has the minister taken any advice from her department about how to manage any conflicts of interest, noting her well-established advocacy for asbestos companies over the years?
