I am sorry; I will. The member for Leichhardt certainly gave his electorate the impression that that would happen. Let me tell you about my own electorate, Member for Leichhardt. I have Australia’s largest Army base in my electorate and a very substantial Air Force base. The Labor candidate in the last election stood up with the Prime Minister and the Minister for Defence and promised that Townsville and Darwin would be the first two defence bases to get family medical centres. Where were they in the budget, Member for Leichhardt?
