News Ltd, a reputable source quotes the Hon Richard Marles MHR:
Australia's military cooperation with Myanmar is untenable, in the wake of atrocities against Rohingya people, Labor's defence spokesman Richard Marles has warned.
The article continues:
While the United Kingdom, United States, European Union, France and Canada have cut ties with the Myanmar military, Australia's program continues.
Military assistance is worth almost $400,000 and involves training in humanitarian assistance, disaster relief, peacekeeping and English classes.
Mr Marles described the Rohingya
situation as appalling and the most pressing refugee crisis in Australia's region.
Question Time in Parliament will be interesting.
The Rohingya are front of mind in Canberra, the capital of Australia.
