Mr President, I ask a supplementary question. I remind the minister about answering the question in relation to the Act of Free Choice. What role does the Australian government see for the international community in mediating discussions between the independence movement in West Papua and the Indonesian government? What will the government do to monitor human rights in West Papua? Will the government raise the status of West Papua as an issue in upcoming international and regional forums? If not, what considerations does the government believe are more important than the human rights of the West Papuans?
