I thank Senator Di Natale for his question. The Australian government's support for the Indonesian National Police consists of counterterrorism training and capacity-building initiatives supported by the AFP. The AFP does provide capacity building to enhance the INP. That would also include Detachment 88 to build capability, including counterterrorism. This capacity building includes the provision of support to a range of INP initiatives implement by the Jakarta Regional Cooperation Team and the AFP counterterrorism senior police adviser in Jakarta. Initiatives include investigation support and forensic assistance including a post-bomb-blast analysis. The AFP has also supported the INP in establishing and developing forensic bomb data centres, the introduction of case management and intelligent system databases and the provision of equipment and support. In addition, I will take on notice when that support commenced and see what the Minister for Home Affairs can add.
