Our relationship with Indonesia is strong, and we look forward to it continuing to strengthen in years to come. I spent about five days in Jakarta the week before last and had very good meetings, as I know our foreign minister continuously has very good and constructive engagement with her counterpart in Indonesia. Let me reassure Senator Wong that this government is absolutely committed to a strong, positive, constructive relationship with Indonesia, but one which is based on Australia making its own judgements in relation to matters of national interest.
