My question is to the Minister for Immigration and Border Protection. On what basis did the minister publicly assert last Friday that the Abbott government's boat buyback policy was not a measure the Indonesian government wants to see as part of Australia's cooperative activities with Indonesia? Why did the minister say Indonesia does not want the boat buyback policy?
