Mr President, I ask a further supplementary question. It has been revealed today that Indonesian police are on the payroll of the operators of the Freeport Grasberg gold and copper mine in West Papua. Given the evidence of such naked corruption and the threat of imminent violence against predominantly West Papuan workers exercising a legitimate right to take industrial action, will this Labor government undertake to suspend cooperation with the Indonesian police forces until this corruption and these human rights abuses cease?
