Labor Senator Conroy geographically challenged

From John Pasquarelli
 
Labor Senator Conroy claimed in Foreign Affairs Estimates Thursday Feb 24,  2011,  that "Indonesia is our closest neighbour". 
Papua New Guinea,  of course,  is Australia's closest neighbour (4km away at the narrowest point compared to closest point between Australian territory and Indonesia – 500km).
Is Labor unaware of the existence of PNG?

    Pasquarelli geographically challenged - yes PNG is Australia's closest neighbour, but the closest point of Australian territory (Deliverance Island) to Indonesia (at the mouth of the Bensbach River) is 75km, not 500.
