My question is to the Minister representing the Minister for Foreign Affairs. Given that a Newspoll survey earlier this year found that 77 per cent of Australians supported self-determination for West Papua, including independence, what actions will the federal government be required to take against the people who support self-determination in West Papua as a result of the new security treaty with Indonesia? Can the minister answer specifically in relation to politicians, journalists working for public broadcasters, public institutions and public servants how the government will be required to take action on their activities in supporting self-determination? Finally, have the Indonesians indicated the kinds of actions that constitute secessionist campaigns that the government is required to act on under the treaty?
