I want to move on to some other capability issues. First of all, on the issue of the purchase of the 24 Super Hornets by the RAAF, Minister, what comparative analysis of other aircraft was done before the decision to purchase that aircraft was made? And, while I am on the subject of aerospace, can you confirm the government’s decision to persevere with the Seasprite helicopter project? What is the rationale behind the decision to persevere with the project? Are there any alternative views?
