asked the Minister representing the Minister for Defence, upon notice, on 23 June 2011:

TomatoExchange, a division of CostaExchange Limited, has a 20 hectare glasshouse located on Elm St, Guyra in northern New South Wales. Between the hours of 6.30am and 6.45am on Monday, 23 May 2011 there was extensive damage to 110 panes of glass in their 72 000 pane glasshouse. The glass was shattered by an unknown cause but it has been determined that the damage was not related to hail or similar weather, a seismic occurrence or human sabotage. The cost of replacing the panes is approximately $110 000.

Given that the Royal Australian Air Force (RAAF) Amberley base is the closest RAAF base to Guyra and the home-base of the F/A-18F Super Hornet fighter, what is the possibility of jet aircraft, effecting a sonic boom, operating in the vicinity of the TomatoExchange at the times specified above.
