Senator HILL (Environment) (9:46 AM) —The Australian government is aware that the Indonesia government has begun an investigation into corruption under the previous Suharto regime. Indonesian government ministers, the leader of the armed forces and the past and present Attorneys-General have confirmed that former president Suharto will not be immune from these investigations. The investigation itself is completely a matter for the new Indonesian government and people to undertake. An inquiry into the Suharto family wealth and assets in Australia would depend on a formal request from the Indonesian government. If such a request were to be made in the future, the government would consider it. At this time, I oppose the suspension of standing orders as urgency has not been made.
