I move:

That this House:

(1) recognises the importance of working with our Pacific neighbours to deliver a region that is secure and sovereign; and

(2) notes the:

(a) Government's Pacific Maritime Security Program is providing the region with a modern and coordinated security capability; and

(b) Government is delivering important infrastructure projects that will enhance their security capability—this includes:

(i) Fiji's Blackrock Peacekeeping and Humanitarian Assistance and Disaster Relief Camp;

(ii) gifting of Guardian Class Patrol Boats; and

(iii) the joint initiative with Papua New Guinea and the Lombrum Naval Base.
