Andrew Wallace (Speaker) | Hansard source

Thank you. What I will say is this: the Minister for Defence was asked a question about what the government is doing in relation to strong and effective measures. He was then also asked about alternative approaches. The minister, before he launches into an 'alternative approaches' response, does need to state what the government's policies are that would, in effect, give the government strong and effective measures, so I would ask the minister to deal with that beforehand. I know the minister has been spoken to about this by Speaker Smith. Otherwise you're comparing an alternative approach to what? The Minister for Defence has the call.
