The object of this OPD is of critical importance to the Senate and to the public. We are seeking to obtain from the government information provided to the defence minister in relation to their co-hosting of the ASEAN Defence Ministers' Meeting-Plus Experts' Working Group on Military Medicine in Brunei in early November.

This is of utmost importance because present at that meeting will be representatives of the military junta currently in control of Myanmar. The public, the National Unity Government and the Myanmar diaspora deserve to know exactly what is being told to our defence minister as they prepare to cohabitate a space alongside such representatives of such a reprehensible regime.
