I thank Senator McGrath for his second supplementary question. I'm advised that the Royal Australian Air Force stopped providing weekly manifests to IPEA on 7 December 2021. It's a matter of public record that the Leader of the Opposition, of course, was the Minister for Defence at that time. The Minister for Defence has directed his department to continue to work with IPEA for assurance and scrutiny of public expenses, including for special-purpose aircraft. Again I repeat that, if there's any further information I can provide to you after question time, I'll come back and do that.
