I thank the member for Makin for his question and his interest in the disposal of military assets. He will be disappointed to hear that the disposal of and allocation to various RSLs of last of the Leopard tanks has now concluded. He may be interested to know that more military equipment—not the wheeled variety but howitzers and the like—will be available and offered to RSLs and other organisations by tender over the course of the next few months. If the member writes to me I will be able to provide him with the detail about how the organisation can put its name on a list so that they can make sure that when certain parts or pieces of military equipment come up for tender they are aware of it and can tender for that military equipment.
