The Australian government’s Future Fund will likely come under increasing pressure to divest a $3.2m stake in a flagship Adani company – Adani Ports and Special Economic Zone – which has been removed from the influential Dow Jones sustainability indices over its dealings in Myanmar.

In 2019, Guardian Australia revealed Adani Ports had signed commercial deal with a holding company controlled by the Myanmar armed forces, who had been accused by UN investigators of committing genocide and crimes against humanity.

Investors everywhere should seriously consider the risk of continuing to invest in Adani Ports.

Kim Carr is asking about a report, which was not publicly released, which investigated the further privatisation of Australia Post.

Christine Holgate said she was unable to talk about it, even at senate estimates, and when questions began to stray in that direction (mostly around Australia Post losing its parcel delivery service) in previous estimates, the Liberal chair of the committee stopped those questions. Holgate says she was against the plan and it was worse than Carr knew:

I know you will appreciate this and I apologise that I was never able to speak up before, because I do appreciate you’ve asked me many times. But we are silenced. We are told very clearly that we are not allowed to speak in it.

I think even at the last Senate hearing on March 23, when several people round this table asked questions, the Senator, Senator [Jane] Hume, who was sitting here, stopped those questions, and stopped Australia Post being able to answer them.
