My question is to the Prime Minister. I remind the Prime Minister of the revelation by the former foreign minister:

… decisions … were taken, in my absence … and then announced and implemented … without my knowledge, in the case of … the Malaysia solution … and then off they went only to discover they didn’t work.

Why was the foreign minister not consulted and why was a cabinet decision announced and implemented without his knowledge on a matter which so obviously impacted on Australia's relationship with Malaysia?
