No, I did not, but I'm happy to withdraw for the benefit of the House. But it was not unparliamentary. I make that very clear. We stand up for the values of this country and we stand up for the values of the countries in our region. That's the point we're making. And the Australian Defence Force has fought for the values of this country over a long period of time. This side of the House, over many generations, over decades in this country, in contrast to others, have invested into the Defence Force. We have made sure that we have backed our defence forces. That will continue into the future.
