Senator PAYNE (New South Wales—Minister for Defence) (14:40): The Integrated Investment Program, which was released in February 2016 with the Defence white paper, set out a very comprehensive plan to ensure that the Australian Defence Force was provided with the best capability it needs to do the job that government expects of it to protect Australia and our interests. In the matter which we are discussing here today, the MQ-4C Triton, the acquisition costs of that are clearly laid out in the white paper, and similarly with other platforms which the government has proceeded with acquiring and making decisions in relation to the acquisition of in recent— Senator Whish-Wilson: A point of order: given I've only got 24 seconds left to get an answer to this specific question. Given what we've discovered today about the total costs of the Triton aircraft, how does that relate to the $200 billion that you've outlined? Can we expect that to be $400 billion— The PRESIDENT: Senator Whish-Wilson, a point of order is not an opportunity to ask a further supplementary question. That is not a point of order. Senator PAYNE: Thank you very much, Mr President. In fact, what I was setting out for the senator—although he doesn't seem particularly interested in listening to it—is the way in which the Integrated Investment Program was determined, which was externally cost assured at the time. The acquisition program is a comprehensive one. It is going to ensure that the ADF is equipped in the way that it needs to be to protect Australia and our interests. That's the government's job.
