The government has been overwhelmed with offers of support from all over the world. In fact, 70 nations of our allies and our partners have offered generous military support and assistance this bushfire season. Today, we still have over 300 international military representatives working side by side with our ADF to support our activities. We've got two Singaporean helicopters and 40 personnel, and three New Zealand helicopters, 30 engineers and a water treatment facility. We've got the PNGDF and the Republic of Fiji Military Forces engineers working with the ADF in East Gippsland. Thirty-five Indonesian engineers arrived this weekend and are working in New South Wales. We have two Japanese Hercules and 80 personnel; 10 United States Air Force members; a Canadian Globemaster delivering fire retardant; and many other aspects of support. To all of our international partners and friends, I say thank you. (Time expired)
