I will conclude with this point. I absolutely agree with the Senator on that. I would like to see the Air Corps having that sort of capability, as do all concerned in the Government. We have to work to deliver that capability. There are a whole range of capabilities we need in the Defence Forces. The report of the Commission on the Defence Forces was warmly welcomed in Government. It requires us to significantly increase investment in our Defence Forces, that is, the Air Corps, Naval Service and Army. That will put is in a better position for future tenders.
