Agus Barnas, spokesman for the Coordinating Ministry for Politics, Law and Security said he was unaware the Australian navy had turned back a boat, but "if the Australian navy reject that boat, basically it's their right." He said Indonesia was observing a moratorium on co-operating with Australia on people smuggling following last year's spying scandal. "So far, there's no policy that the co-operation would resume," Mr Barnas said. The talk on forming a code of conduct is still in process. He said Indonesia's ambassador for Australia, Najib Riphat Kesoema, is still in Indonesia after being recalled last November.
