As Australia does, appropriate consular support is extended to Australian citizens when they are travelling overseas in a broad range of circumstances. That is a responsibility the Department of Foreign Affairs and Trade and our consular services division take very seriously.

In relation to the matters of the arrest: they relate, I presume, to an ongoing investigation or an ongoing inquiry being carried out by the Queensland Police Service. I don't intend to comment on those details.
