My question is to the Minister representing the Minister for Foreign Affairs, Senator Faulkner. Given that at Senate estimates in October last year the Department of Foreign Affairs and Trade gave assurances that an internal review of the Britt Lapthorne case would be held and given it has now been five months since a commitment was made to better coordinate consular relations, what changes have been made to ensure that no other Australian family has to go through what the Lapthornes did?
