My question is to the Minister for Foreign Affairs, Senator Payne. I refer to breaking reports in the Fairfax media that Senator Payne will be meeting with the Indonesian foreign minister, Retno Marsudi, on the sidelines of the Bali Democracy Forum. The Indonesian foreign minister warned that Mr Morrison's decision to junk longstanding bipartisan foreign policy and review the location of Australia's embassy in Israel was 'a slap to Indonesia's face'. Can the minister confirm she will meet with Foreign Minister Marsudi? Will the minister seek to undo the damage done by Mr Morrison's decision to put domestic political interest before Australia's national interest?
