My question is to the Minister for Defence. In a national survey, 60 per cent of respondents said that if we were invaded they wouldn't fight. In Europe, war drums are beating; in China, Pelosi's visit triggered mobilisation. Minister, we had in our last war, Konfrontasi, 1½ million combat rifles and now we only have 36,000 rifles. Was $4 billion spent on hundreds of drones and dozens of patrol boats which, except for a small machine gun, have no armaments whatsoever? My Kalkatungu mob held British invasion at bay for 60 years. Minister, can I give you their telephone number?
