You may remember, Minister, that on Tuesday I asked you about the $7 billion figure that had been quoted in the media. You said to the ABC that afternoon that the $7 billion figure covered the whole-of-life cost of the drones. You said that it would be just shy of $7 billion. Can you now confirm to the Senate that the total cost of acquiring these drones is nearly double what was quoted in the white paper?
