I welcome the presentation, which was a fairly strong, no holds barred effort. I must confess I have no family or other involvement in the Reserve Defence Force. Most, if not all, of what I have heard today is new to me. I have some sympathy with Mr. Cooney's point in relation to stresses at home in terms of time. He should try politics some time.
