Mr KATTER (Kennedy) (14:20): Might I remark, Madam Speaker, you might boot me out! The SPEAKER: I have no desire to see whether or not he is wearing shoes at this particular moment. Mr KATTER: My question is to the Assistant Minister for Defence. Australian combat troops refuse to use the Austrian Steyr rifle; they use the American ArmaLite, which can be produced in Australia for half the price. At Anzac Day, soldiers marched in their socks since the soles had fallen off their Chinese boots. Australian ordnance and ammunition is manufactured mainly by a French owned company. The slouch hat is partly foreign. Will the government support Rossi and the Senate demand for a fall inquiry into procurement or remain free market, with the policy destroying Australia's manufacturing and gutting Australia's sinews of war?
