I thank the honourable member for
some notice of the question.
(a)–(c)
The current regional director's contract term expires on 31 December
2014. The future of our representation in Indonesia is being examined. One
option is for an embedded full-time Western Australian trade officer to be
located in the Austrade office in the Australian embassy in Jakarta.
