My question is to the Minister for Defence, Senator Johnston. What action has the minister undertaken to ensure that the government meets its pre-election promise to have defence spending at two per cent of GDP within a decade? Can the minister confirm that the movement towards meeting this promise will begin in next year's budget and that it will be fully outlined in the defence funding guidance accompanying next year's budget?
