Mr President, I ask a supplementary question. I would ask the minister to specify where in my question I alleged Australian servicemen were protecting opium poppy production. It is a total falsehood, and the minister knows it. Secondly, given the minister’s concern for opium production in Afghanistan, I would like to know what practical prevention steps Australia is taking and what aid it is giving the government of Afghanistan to prevent this explosion of poppy growing.
