I am happy to get further information as to whether the Prime Minister intends to raise that matter with the Indonesian President. I have a brief here which reminds me that the Foreign Minister has made it very clear to Indonesia’s Foreign Minister on several occasions that the government will vigorously support clemency for the six Australians sentenced to death in Bali should the death sentences still stand at the end of the legal process. I can confirm that those representations have been made at foreign minister level and I am happy to seek further information on the question of whether that will occur at Prime Ministerial level.
