Australia's Embassy in Indonesia has not expressed a formal protest against the two year jail sentence handed to Jakarta's former Christian governor for insulting Islam.
Basuki Tjahaja Purnama, known as "Ahok", is ethnically Chinese and was convicted in early May for blasphemy, and has opted not to appeal.
During a Senate estimates hearing in Canberra on Wednesday, Department of Foreign Affairs and Trade officials said the embassy was aware of the case and had discussed it with various interlocutors.
Government backbencher Eric Abetz asked if officials had expressed "disgust" to the Indonesian government.
"No we have not," official Allaster Cox said.
He said it was a legal matter in another jurisdiction.
Senator Abetz also wanted to know whether Australia had protested the caning of two gay men in the Indonesian province of Aceh.
Prime Minister Malcolm Turnbull last week described the case as barbaric.
Mr Cox said Foreign Minister Julie Bishop had raised her concerns about the caning to her Indonesian counterpart.
Senator Abetz went on to grill officials about whether they believe Indonesia is a model moderate Muslim country in light of the two cases.
Mr Cox said the caning occurred in Aceh, which is the only province in Indonesia to practice Sharia law.
Mr Cox maintained homosexuality was not a crime in other parts of the country.
