Mr Speaker, I'll tell you why it's essential to have strong leadership and to invest in the Australian Defence Force, which is exactly what this Prime Minister has done. We've done that because we wanted to restore the disaster that we inherited from the Labor Party. We've been able to respond to this incident and to many more because we have put the money not just into the acquisition of the equipment that the ADF needs but also into the recruitment and training of ADF personnel.
