We also introduced security patrols at 18 sites, a measure that has been reduced under this government.</text>

We don't want to get into another willing argument. I answered these questions in estimates, and we went through it in some detail. I undertook to get back to the member about, I think, two sites. The other remaining four sites are the result of—the program remains in place and the security patrols are ongoing; they haven't changed.

For the remaining two sites, I undertook to get back to the member and I will do so.</text>
