Mr President, I ask a supplementary question. Is the government aware that jailing Indonesian children and minors is a breach of Australia's international treaty obligations? I ask the minister again: is the Indonesian consulate currently investigating 40 cases where Australia is jailing, in adult jails, 40 children from Indonesia? Yes or no, minister?
