Answer

As Prime Minister, I regularly request and receive advice from officials on a range of matters relating to my Prime Minister portfolio. Advice relating to the U.N General Assembly on the resolution to condemn the trafficking of enslaved Africans and the transatlantic slave trade is a matter that falls within the Foreign Affairs portfolio. I refer the member to the response to Written Parliamentary Question 12269 (2026) provided by the Minister of Foreign Affairs, Rt Hon Winston Peters.
