My question is to the Minister for Defence, Senator Faulkner, representing the Minister for Foreign Affairs, and it relates to the Montara oil spill. Is the government aware that an oil sample taken in Indonesian fishing grounds has been identified as Montara oil and can therefore be assumed to have come from the Montara oil spill? Has the government commenced any investigation into, or review of, the impacts of the oil spill on Indonesian fishers and communities on Rote Island and in West Timor?
