We will engage in the way that we, as the government of Australia, consider to be most appropriate for Australia's national interests with the government of the Solomon Islands. If the shadow foreign minister had been looking at some social media, he would have seen that foreign minister Marsudi is visiting. Obviously we will continue to engage with them, as we do. And I have to say, I find it passing strange that I'd get a question about engagement from a government that had so little engagement, both before and after a security agreement with China was entered into, and whose best response was to send Minister Seselja.
