My question is to the Minister representing the Prime Minister, Senator Cormann. In September Prime Minister Morrison told the Indonesia-Australia Business Forum:

I am here to put more grunt into the economic relationship.

He said, 'That is why the Indonesia-Australia Comprehensive Economic Partnership Agreement is so important' and:

It will open the door to a new era of opportunities for Australian and Indonesian business.

An article in this morning's Australian Financial Review entitled 'PM cool on Jakarta trade deal' states:

Scott Morrison has confirmed plans to sign the free trade agreement with Indonesia this week have been shelved and he said there was now "no burning timetable" to get it done.

Minister, what changed?
