Mr President, I ask a supplementary question. Last night opposition leader Anwar Ibrahim spoke to me and posed a question, which I ask of the foreign minister. How can Australia be blind to and condone such blatant fraud and massive rigging of the elections? Whilst I note the minister's comments that we cannot be a court of disputed returns, will the minister at least raise these concerns with the Malaysian government at regional forums, including the Bali Democracy Forum, and in particular with the Commonwealth secretariat? That is not a court of disputed returns. Will you raise these concerns?
