I welcome the publication of the report and acknowledge the wonderful international work of our peacekeepers. They are held in high regard and I welcome the Minister's indication that he will visit them again this year. It is important that they realise we do not forget about them and that, as a society, we value what they do. Can the Minister set out the types of humanitarian and community project in which members of the Defence Forces are engaged? There is a paragraph on the matter in the report. Such projects are key in areas of strife to assist communities to adjust to fragile and more sustained peace. To change a society from war-torn to peaceful is very challenging and I am curious about the types of project involved.
