What are we doing in contrast to that? We are putting a record amount into defending this country and keeping Australians safe. We now have a nuclear submarine program which will be, in this region, an absolutely superior boat. It will give us the ability to work with the Americans and to work with the Brits to keep our country safe and secure. Out of AUKUS, there's obviously a lot more that we'll do in terms of cybersecurity, working on artificial intelligence and on quantum technologies, additional undersea capabilities—these are all areas of priority and there will be many, many more. We will work with our best allies in the world and with our dear friends in the region to make sure that we keep our country safe.
