My question concerns the attempt to extradite Mr Julian Moti, who reportedly remains a candidate for the position of Solomon Islands Attorney-General. Is the minister aware of reports that Mr Moti returned to Australia following the dismissal of child sex charges in Vanuatu? Were the Australian Federal Police aware of the incident that prompted the Vanuatu charges at the time of Mr Moti’s re-entry into Australia? Can the minister explain when the investigation into Mr Moti began, why the investigation has been delayed and why Mr Moti was not arrested and charged in Australia during the several years which he spent here?
