Mr President, I ask a supplementary question. I thank the minister for the answer to the question. It is the ‘not discouraging trade and investment’ point that I think is the most alarming. I note that on 18 June 2009 the Senate unanimously expressed its support for a universal arms embargo against the regime, and I welcome also the strong support for this measure expressed by British Prime Minister, Gordon Brown, overnight. Can the minister update the Senate on what the Australian government has done to date, since that resolution was passed by the Senate, in progressing a worldwide arms embargo?
