My question is to the Minister for Defence, Minister Payne. This Tuesday, I asked you to clarify exactly what the costs of the Triton drones would be. A check of Hansard will show that you didn't answer the question of what the costs would be. However, on ABC Radio that afternoon you said that you'd told the Senate what the costs would be. Could you now take the opportunity to clarify what the $3 billion to $4 billion price tag in the white paper refers to and what part of acquisition systems infrastructure or sustainment is included in that figure?
