As I said, it is a partnership with the Indonesian government to make sure that we keep foot-and-mouth disease out of this country, something that I'd think the shadow minister would be interested in. Rather than criticising the Indonesian government and trying to score political points about how many numbers are where and what you want to do, how about you work in partnership with us—instead of doing what you did do when you held the agricultural portfolio, which was to be briefed about the threat of foot-and-mouth disease, put a tweet out about it and then do absolutely nothing.
