Mr McCLELLAND (11:05 AM) —There is a report in the Australian today—and I appreciate that the parliamentary secretary may not have the information or that it may not be appropriate to disclose intentions with respect to what is reported in that article—which said that contemplation is being given to whether Australia next year may provide additional forces to assist in stabilising Afghanistan. The parliamentary secretary may feel comfortable to comment on the accuracy of that report; if the parliamentary secretary does not feel comfortable, I am sorry. However, in the context of the Chief of the Defence Force saying that as a result of the commitment we have currently to the war in Iraq ‘our dance card is full’—I think those were his words—would we in any event have the capability to contribute any forces to additional requirements in our region and, in particular, additional forces for Afghanistan?
