My question is to the Minister for Defence. Given that the budget demonstrated a lack of commitment to Richmond RAAF base, with apparent zero spending for capital facility projects on the base, can the minister confirm whether—as a result of the then coalition government announcing prior to the election that Richmond RAAF base would remain permanently operational—Labor said that if they were elected they would not alter the status of Richmond RAAF base and the base would continue as a permanent operational facility? Given Labor were elected, what is the current government’s plan with regard to Richmond RAAF base?
