My question is to the Minister for Defence. The Prime Minister said he doesn't want duplication in the National Anti-Corruption Commission. Why is the ADF included in the National Anti-Corruption Commission, but senior union leaders are not? Aren't the ADF Military Code of Conduct and Inspector-General good enough?

Order, members on my left! The member for Canning was heard in silence, and I'd ask that the same respect be shown to the Minister for Defence.

I thank the member for his question. The military tribunals have their important role to play. The government has committed to producing an anticorruption commission which is going to be robust, in accordance with the commitments that we took to the last election.
