I thank the member for Menzies for his question. He knows, as a former Minister for Defence in a previous government, that keeping Australians safe and secure is a fundamental requirement of government. But you can't actually do that successfully unless you can afford to do so. That's why a growing economy and a well-managed budget are critically important to actually securing the nation and keeping Australians safe.
