Mr President, I ask a further supplementary question. Let us get to the heart of who is really interested. I refer the minister to the Prime Minister's press conference when he named five coalition MPs who have lobbied him for a fairer pay deal for ADF personnel but did not name the minister. Given the importance of this issue to ADF personnel, why has the minister not lobbied for a better deal and why was he not invited to the Prime Minister's press conference?
