My question is to Senator Evans, the Minister representing the Minister for Defence and the Minister representing the Prime Minister. Is the minister aware of the Morgan poll on Friday showing that 72 per cent of Australians think that now is the time for Australia's troops to be withdrawn from Afghanistan, with a very big majority of support regardless of the political persuasion of Australians? Can the minister say exactly what the government's timetable for the return to Australia of our troops serving in Afghanistan is?
