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?

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.
