I rise to make my comment on this MPI today, but before I do I want to make it very clear that, from the government’s side of the benches here in this chamber, this really is a very important issue to the maritime security of Australia. The saddest part is that, unfortunately, it will be politicised today. There is no doubt about that. I am not belittling the comments of Senator Brown; it will be from those opposite.
