I welcome the Australian Government decision to provide $150,000 to help survivors of the worst flood in Jakarta for 10 years.
As a developed country in the Australia-Pacific region, Australia should always be ready to respond to our neighbours in need.
Natural disasters such as this flooding have the capacity to rapidly escalate into a national crisis. We should continue to monitor the situation and respond appropriately.
If the situation deteriorates the Australian Government should stand ready to provide further assistance if it is required.
