I am absolutely shocked, as I am sure many other members of this House are, that the member for Corio would have been given a question at all to ask in the House of Representatives—to lead with his rather large glass chin on this occasion. This is the shadow minister for Defence who advised, when he was carried away on the clam bake in Honolulu, that the policy of the Australian government should be: we sail our Navy within 12 nautical miles of disputed territory in the South China Sea. He fell for the old pea-and-thimble trick.
