I thank Senator Griff for his second supplementary question. The focus on sovereignty is one which is a key priority for the government. In all of the comments, speeches and remarks that have been made by the Prime Minister, the defence minister and me over an extended period of time, our absolute priority has been Australia's national interests and protecting Australia's sovereignty. The Australian people expect no less and the Australian people deserve no less.
