House debates Questions without Notice

Defence Personnel

Thursday, 22 October 2009 House of Representatives

Peter Dutton

Peter Dutton Dickson, Liberal Party, Shadow Minister for Health and Ageing

My question is to the Prime Minister. I refer the Prime Minister to the SIEV36 explosion. Will the Prime Minister update the House on the welfare of the Navy personnel injured? How many have returned to active duty?

Kevin Rudd

Kevin Rudd Griffith, Australian Labor Party, Prime Minister

I thank the honourable member for his question. I am not in a position to be able to update the House on this occasion. If that information comes to hand before the end of question time, I will provide it to him. If not, I will provide it when the House next meets.
