My question is to the Minister representing the Minister for Foreign Affairs, Senator Brandis. Is the minister aware that East Timor's natural resources minister, Mr Alfredo Perez, has said that the alleged espionage by spies undercover as aid workers has ruptured trust. If so, what implications does this ruptured trust have for the safety of Australian aid workers working around the world, given that now they may be suspected as spies?
