My question is to Senator Ian Campbell, representing the Minister for Defence. My question relates to the recent announcement by the Minister for Defence about the Australian Navy’s involvement in joint patrols with the Indonesian navy. Has the government sought written legal advice about whether the actions of the Australian Navy in returning West Papuan asylum seekers to face persecution in Indonesia are a breach of the refugee convention?
