Hon MARK MITCHELL (National—Rodney): Thank you very much, Madam Chair. To the Minister—so can I just firstly congratulate the Minister on his appointment or any involvement he had in appointing his defence Minister, who, of course, is from his own party. It was an astute decision, because his defence Minister immediately picked up the outgoing Government's defence white paper and capability paper and has been fundamentally implementing that, which, of course, has allowed you to stay in a very strong position in terms of, especially, a focus on the Pacific. And in your opening comments, you referred specifically to aid and support that's required in the Pacific, which, of course, we support wholeheartedly on this side of the House.
