Australia's Home Affairs Minister Peter Dutton says he was "very lucky" to escape a deadly earthquake on the Indonesian island of Lombok unharmed.
The senior MP was dining at a restaurant on the 12th floor of a hotel when the magnitude-7 quake struck.
"We were knocked certainly to the floor," he told Sydney radio 2GB on Monday.
The cabinet minister is in Indonesia for a regional counter-terrorism conference with a delegation from Australian, including the Australian Federal Police commissioner.
The earthquake killed at least 82 people.
