On that, I withdraw amendment (1) on sheet 2137. But I do have some questions. I'm just wondering whether the government has considered doing this because of the state of our defence forces and considered actually moving it over and giving maybe 3,000 to 5,000 of them the option to come in on the proviso that they join our defence forces. Right now, we are in a state of disarray in our defence forces. Nobody is joining, and people are leaving. That is where we're at. I'm asking you whether your government has been in discussions about maybe looking at doing this with our Pacific islanders.
