be happy if you sent your son down to serve in this country, to protect
this country and find out a foreign power had acquired a property right
next to where he was based and certainly it puts into challenge all the
good work that has been done over so many years for our Australian-US
alliance. The simple is that the Government should resume the report
now, the Federal Government, give the China fees back their money and
keep our faith with our American allies.
