Senator WILLIAMS (New South Wales—Nationals Whip in the Senate) (14:49): My question is to the Minister for Agriculture, Fisheries and Forestry, Senator Ludwig. Can the minister confirm the report in today's West Australian newspaper that he was scolded by the Indonesian government because he had not consulted with them before the suspension of live cattle exports to Indonesia? Can the minister also confirm that he did not consult with the Western Australian government before making his decision?
