Senator RUSTON (South Australia—Assistant Minister for International Development and the Pacific) (15:56): I seek leave to make a short statement. The PRESIDENT: Leave is granted for one minute. Senator RUSTON: This issue is the subject of a review by the Department of Home Affairs and relevant agencies. Mr Al-Araibi's return to Australia was a welcome outcome, and the government commends Thailand's commitment to due process and human rights leading to this decision. This outcome is a testament to the strength and depth of Australia's relationship with both Thailand and Bahrain. The government thanks the Thai and Bahraini governments and all those who advocated strongly for Mr Al-Araibi's release.
