CHINA’S DETENTION OF CANADIAN CITIZENS
THE HON TANYA PLIBERSEK MP
Labor is deeply concerned by the detention of two Canadian citizens and express our support for Prime Minister Trudeau’s call for their release.
 
We support the Australian Government raising concerns with China, and the reasons given by the Government for doing so. 
 
We call for Michael Kovrig and Michael Spavor to be treated in a fair, unbiased and transparent manner and support Canada’s efforts to secure their release.
 
Australia, like Canada is a country governed by the rule of law which cannot be compromised or politicised.
