Thank you for correcting me, Mr President. Following the footage of animal cruelty at the Temur Petir and Cakung abattoirs in Jakarta was aired on the ABC TV Lateline program on 28 February 2012, showing serious and systematic breaches of the government's new Exporter Supply Chain Assurance System, what action have you or your department taken to investigate this matter? Further, where is the investigation up to of up to 61 observed incidents of non-compliance with your government's own supply chain assurance regime at these abattoirs?
