My question is to the Prime Minister. It was revealed in Senate estimates yesterday that 75 per cent of the contents of ration packs for Aussie diggers are foreign produced, including items such as plain biscuits, fruit cake, tea, coffee and tomato sauce. Even the toilet paper is from China. Does the Prime Minister agree that Australian troops serving our country should be supplied with Australian goods in their ration packs, which would also support Aussie food manufacturing? If so, how would the government rectify this situation?
