Minister, six UN special rapporteurs have written to the Chinese government about forced labour in Tibet, raising concerns about the extensive labour transfer program in the Tibet Autonomous Region placing rural workers into low-skilled and low-paid industrial jobs and allegedly eroding Tibetan minority languages, cultural practices and religion. Will the government implement a ban on the import of goods produced by forced labour as agreed to in the ALP National Conference platform, given that Labor voted in support of this ban whilst in opposition?
