My question is to the Minister for Foreign Affairs. I refer him to the tensions that have been created in our relationship with Indonesia over the live cattle export ban, with East Timor over the regional processing centre, with Malaysia over the people swap deal and with Papua New Guinea over the stalled proposal to reopen the detention centre there. When will the foreign minister travel to Jakarta, Dili, Port Moresby and Kuala Lumpur to stem the damage that is being done to the relationships we have with our nearest neighbours?
