Freedom of Information documents have revealed that Australia’s Future Fund has invested $157 million in 14 companies that have done business with the Myanmar military such as supplying fighter jets, missiles, radar and millions in annual revenue to war criminals.
The Future Fund holds about $200 billion in investments made on behalf of the Australian government.
The fund’s holdings include $4.9 million invested in 5 companies of the Aviation Industry Corporation of China (AVIC), which has sold combat aircraft and missiles to the Myanmar military.
Spokesperson for Justice For Myanmar said that it is “unacceptable Australia’s Future Fund is seeking to profit from companies arming the Myanmar military and effectively financing its campaign of terror.”
