During question time I took on notice a question from Senator Wong about the special purpose aircraft and I now have answers to her question. I can advise that my office received the verified schedule of the special purpose aircraft flights for the period 19 January to 19 June on 19 February this year. As per longstanding convention, the schedule of special purpose aircraft flights is tabled twice yearly by the government, once the data is collected and verified and verification of activities has been completed. I can confirm to the chamber that the schedule of special purpose aircraft for this period will be tabled tomorrow.
