QUESTIONS WITHOUT NOTICE

Senator WONG (South Australia—Minister for Foreign Affairs and Leader of the Government in the Senate) (14:42): Senator Stacey, I would hazard a guess that the leadership of the People's Republic of China is well aware of the public position taken by the Prime Minister, and this is not a matter for bilateral negotiation. Australia has made a decision. It's a decision we believe is in our national interest, our sovereign interest, and we will proceed to implement that decision.

I think that is clear and was put on the public record multiple times by the Prime Minister and other ministers both during the election campaign and since. The PRESIDENT: Senator Stacey, second supplementary?
