Thank you very much, Senator Watt, for that question. I can confirm that Defence does have a very detailed policy on the impact of climate change and the impact on force structure. As you would know, it is also in the 2016 Defence white paper, where it is very specifically referenced. The potential for climate change in our region, and also in our nation, is well addressed and well studied by the ADF.
