My question is to the Minister for Agriculture, Fisheries and Forestry, Senator Ludwig. Prior to the minister imposing a suspension on the export of live cattle to Indonesia, was he aware of a closed system operated by a prominent Australian company that owns its own Indonesian feedlot and A-class abattoir and can guarantee that Australian cattle exported to Indonesia are treated according to acceptable international standards?
