My question is to the Minister for International Development and the Pacific, Senator Fierravanti-Wells. Can the minister advise the Senate how the 75th anniversary of the Battle of Guadalcanal and the sinking of HMAS Canberra have been commemorated and how important these battles were in turning the tide in the war in the Pacific?
