My question is to the Minister for Foreign Affairs. The Fin Review quotes retired ASIO chief David Irvine:

… look at the … Indonesian Parliament and you see the level of criticism and … dislike of Australia …

We project an air of condescension. Every year drugs kill 1,000 innocent Australians. Doesn't fighting for traffickers, however justified, reinforce to Indonesia our government's manifest colonial-like indifference to Asian sensitivities, laws and customs? First Australians found that friction causes fire. Northern cattlemen got burnt. Who next, Minister? (Time expired)
