Prime Minister Scott Morrison has welcomed reports that former foreign minister Julie Bishop is planning to recontest her seat at the next election.
Speaking from Jakarta, Mr Morrison said his visit to Indonesia and free trade agreement negotiations were owed to the work of Ms Bishop and former prime minister Malcolm Turnbull.
"We spoke about it after the change last week ... I think it's fantastic to have Julie in our team. I look forward to continuing to work with Julie. I think it's absolutely tremendous," he told reporters.
