Today in my electorate of Gilmore was the decommissioning of 805 Squadron and its Seasprites. It was an emotive time especially for the men and women who worked so hard on this project and their families. It has not been an easy time for them. I felt very privileged to have been there for the ceremony, especially as my whole time in government has been associated with this project. I owe a debt of gratitude to the Parliamentary Secretary for Defence Procurement, Greg Combet, for without his inviting me to accompany him it would not have been possible for me to attend. I appreciated his courtesy and that of his staff.
