I would like to hear something about what that is, so I ask a supplementary question. The speech prepared for the Chief of the Defence Force noted:

Deploying troops on numerous disaster relief missions, at the same time, may stretch our capability and capacity.

Does the Morrison government acknowledge climate change induced disasters pose a threat to the capability and capacity of the ADF? And again, I ask: what is the Morrison government doing to prepare the ADF for these challenges?
