Sorry—Deputy Prime Minister. No-one is allowed to call him minister. It's Deputy Prime Minister. Then you have pillar II. Pillar II is actually probably even more insidious. Pillar II is the reason why Australia can't independently determine where they send weapons. Pillar II is the reason why we continue to send weapons into Israel, because pillar II is designed to remove any sovereign capacity for Australia to determine its own defence industry and to determine its own defence policy. This is an extraordinary surrender of sovereignty, and, if we're concerned about our defence, we should be concerned about ripping up AUKUS.
