Mr President, I ask a supplementary question. I refer to the Indonesian foreign minister, who says:

Actually, it's not difficult for Australia to answer my question from Saturday regarding the issue of payment, and not to distract on the issue …

That is a direct quote from the Indonesian foreign minister.

Senator Cormann interjecting—

I know the Minister for Finance may not think it is an important point. Has the Abbott government provided a response to the Indonesian foreign minister and, if so, what is it?
