☮ ♥ ♬ 🧑‍💻Day 18 cont 🥔🤓🎙️🔊“Dutton told host <a href="https://ioc.exchange/tags/PatriciaKarvelas" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#PatriciaKarvelas</a> (<a href="https://ioc.exchange/tags/ABCAustralia" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#ABCAustralia</a>) that if “negotiations were taking place, then surely Australia would have been consulted”, and if not, that would have been a “catastrophic failure”.Karvelas pushed Dutton on whether the president had announced this, or whether there were any public statements on the issue. Dutton said:There’s commentary I have seen reported from the <a href="https://ioc.exchange/tags/Indonesian" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Indonesian</a> spokesperson. That’s obviously come from the administration. There are reports of negotiations or discussions that have taken place between Russia and Indonesia. Pushing again, <a href="https://ioc.exchange/tags/Karvelas" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Karvelas</a> asks, “Where have you seen the Indonesian president confirm this? Aren’t you verballing him? He hasn’t talked publicly about it”.Dutton digs in:There’s comment that’s come out of the administration, out of the <a href="https://ioc.exchange/tags/Prabowo" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Prabowo</a> administration ... Dutton says it a third time, that there are “public reports”:There’s public reports in relation to the claim that’s been made. There’s been a lot of activity between <a href="https://ioc.exchange/tags/Russia" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Russia</a> and <a href="https://ioc.exchange/tags/China" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#China</a> and <a href="https://ioc.exchange/tags/Indonesia" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Indonesia</a>, et cetera.
