Senator JOHNSTON (Western Australia) (14:16): My question is to the Minister for Foreign Affairs and the Minister representing the Minister for Defence, Senator Bob Carr. The 2009 Defence white paper declared on page 137 at point 18.4 that funding for Defence would be guaranteed by three per cent real growth out to 2017-18. Is this still Labor policy? The PRESIDENT: I do not think you can ask a question on policy. Rephrase the question. Senator JOHNSTON: Is the government still adhering to its white paper?
