Indonesia has moved to strengthen its intelligence apparatus in response to revelations that Australia tapped the phone of its president.

As the fallout over the spy row continues to widen, Indonesian Foreign Minister Marty Natalegawa confirmed that all co-operation on people smuggling – from police information sharing to search and rescue – had now halted.

Agriculture Minister Barnaby Joyce announced on Saturday he would postpone a trip to Indonesia.

It is understood the trip had been planned for some weeks but Mr Joyce has decided ‘‘in the circumstances’’ to put it off until tensions ease.
