My question is to the Minister representing the Prime Minister, Senator Brandis. I refer to photos published today showing bundles of cash that Indonesian police say were paid to people smugglers by Australian officials to turn back boats. A recorded interview with the captain of the asylum seeker vessel confirming the payment has also been reported. Will the Abbott government confirm or deny these reports?
