A trade union leader in exile is urging Labor to implement tougher penalties on his home country.
As Labor's national conference prepares to debate foreign policy stances on its final day, the president of the Confederation of Trade Unions Myanmar is hoping pressure can be placed on the government to go further with sanctions on the Southeast Asian country.
Muang Muang, who has a warrant for his arrest since a 2021 coup in the country, is in Australia for the Labor conference, making the case for greater penalties.
