Universities play an important role as the critic and conscience of society, but Parliament plays an essential role as the democratic expression of people's sovereignty. For our Parliament to ignore reality and oppose this motion out of fear, as the Minister of trade seemed to suggest we should do yesterday, is intolerable. Our conscience requires that we support this motion. We know that a genocide is taking place. The evidence is voluminous—from multiple sources, and credible. It is also true that the Uyghur people have been engaged in terrorism across China. This should not be without consequence, but genocide is not a justifiable consequence for anything. It is certainly not justifiable to show absolutely no mercy, as President Xi called for in the People's War on Terror, centred on Xinjiang. Genocide does not require a war. It does not need to be sudden. It can be slow and deliberate, and that is what is happening here.
