My question is for the Minister for Defence, Marise Payne. Minister, my question relates to the issue of PFAS chemical contamination found in numerous defence sites across Australia, including those in my home state of Western Australia—especially Perth's Garden Island and Pearce air base, which I note is in the electorate of the new Attorney-General, Christian Porter. My office has written to your office on two occasions, the first being almost two months ago. We outlined the affected resident's proposal to install water tanks on contaminated property or to connect them to scheme water, at the department's expense. Can you confirm that your office has received our letters and explain why you have not provided us with a response?
