I am about to go on to the question of Indonesia. The Indonesian authorities have advised the government that women and children will be offered the option of staying in a house near the Tanjung Pinang detention facility. One of the reasons why that is the case is because we, together with the previous government, have been providing funding through the UNHCR and through the IOM to the Indonesian government to provide them with the capacity to construct appropriate facilities and to provide appropriate medical services as well to such individuals under these circumstances. That is the approach of the Australian government at home. That is what we are seeking to engage the Indonesians with abroad.
