In relation to the latter half of Senator Hogg’s question, I can only restate the position I outlined earlier—and that was as stated by Rear Admiral Goldrick: that there is no loss in operational capacity in patrolling the northern waters of this country. In relation to the Armidale situation, the Navy has advised that they see the Armidales being back in action in the near future. It relates to a problem with a fuel line which is being looked at, and that is being given urgent attention.
