Senator REYNOLDS (Western Australia—Minister for Defence) (14:12): I will say for the third time: yes, the ADF has done extensive work on this and has preparedness for this. As I've said twice already— The PRESIDENT: Senator Reynolds, Senator Watt is rising on a point of order. Senator Watt. Senator Watt: The point of order is relevance. This question was about whether the ADF had conducted a similar assessment to that of the US Department of Defense. It wasn't about some general statement the government might have made. The PRESIDENT: Senator Watt, with all due respect, the minister had been speaking for 10 seconds. I was listening very carefully. At this point, I am more than happy to say she was being directly relevant. I believe your point of order goes to how she is answering the question rather than being directly relevant. There is an opportunity after question time to debate that. Senator Reynolds, I cut you off. Senator REYNOLDS: Thank you very much, Mr President. As the Australian Minister for Defence, what I'm doing is actually answering the question about the Australian Defence Force and the extensive work that we're doing here. I cannot speak for the United States system or the United States Secretary of Defense and what his department has done. We have for many years in Defence looked at the impacts of climate change, and we work with the region in terms of humanitarian disaster response and many other supports. So the answer is: yes.
