Hon RON MARK: The surveillance flights by No. 5 Squadron's P-3 Orions were critical, as they quickly gave the Governments of Vanuatu, Fiji, and Tonga high-quality aerial imagery of damage, including in remote areas, enabling them to respond and prioritise aid to where it was most needed. The flights by No. 40 Squadron C-130's Hercules delivered almost 30 tonnes of much-needed supplies to Vanuatu and Fiji, including tarpaulins, water containers, generators, chainsaw kits, satellite phones, family hygiene supplies, agricultural toolkits, and, in the case of Vanuatu, a privately owned helicopter, to be used in the relief effort.
