Take more 'official refugees', Indonesia says Australian foreign minister Bob Carr speaks to journalists after laying a wreath at a monument for victims of 2002 Bali bombing. Indonesia will ask Australia to accept more refugees through official channels to lighten its burden as tens of thousands of asylum seekers make their way to Australia. Australian Foreign Affairs Minister Bob Carr, immigration minister Brendan O'Connor and the head of the Prime Minister's people smuggling inquiry, Angus Houston, arrived in Bali on Monday for talks with Indonesia and other countries, including Afghanistan, which are involved in the movement of people. It is believed that Australia will seek to build a greater emphasis on regional co-operation in law enforcement as a way of trying to break down the thriving people smuggling trade. But senior Commissioner Parsaroan Damanik, the head of DCI at Banten Police in West Java, said the Opposition's tow-back policy - recently re-endorsed by Mr Abbott - would "disadvantage" Indonesia. Absolutely it's a disadvantage for us. [Our actions on people smuggling] are not only about protecting our country's interests but we're also protecting Australia's interests," Commissioner Parsaroan said. He said that Australia's current policy of processing asylum seekers on Nauru or Papua New Guinea's Manus Island was better because Indonesia could not handle more asylum seekers being returned. We could arrest around two groups of illegal migrants per week, but we cannot put the migrants into jail. [All we can do is] legally process the drivers, the smugglers, vehicle owners," he said. Despite the regular negative comments from Indonesia about his policy, Mr Abbott expressed confidence recently that his party could "have a more constructive and candid and collegial relationship with Indonesia than the current government. He said Labor had "trashed" the relationship through "megaphone diplomacy." Also on Monday, the deputy head of Indonesia's high-level Human Trafficking, Refugees and Asylum Seekers desk, Johnny Hutauruk, told Fairfax Media that Indonesia wanted to increase the "quota from Indonesia" that Australia accepted. We understand at the moment Australia receives 15,000 to 20,000 refugees annually from all over the world and around 250-500 refugees are from Indonesia. If possible we want the figure to be increased," Mr Hutauruk said. We would like UNHCR (the United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees) to also help us talking to Australia about it. Last year's Houston inquiry into Australian policy on asylum seekers recommended an increase in the official intake from Indonesia to 600. Refugees and people smuggling are not a big political issue in Indonesia, but the country's immigration detention centres and some towns in West Java are groaning under the weight of 9000 official refugees and perhaps tens of thousands of unregistered ones, particularly Hazara people from Afghanistan. Mr Hutauruk said Indonesia also hoped, after the Bali conference, to make a tripartite agreement with both Malaysia and Australia on the people smuggling issue. Australia hopes to put new emphasis on law enforcement, using its Jakarta Centre for Law Enforcement Co-operation with Indonesian police to train regional police in stopping people smugglers.
