Just watching the HoC Backbench Defence debate from my sickbed
The 24 Coalition members including the SoS and 9 members of the Opposition benches defines the level of standing that defence now has, indeed one member reminded the House that not long ago there used to be 3 government Defence debates a year. Those who spoke, especially on the opposition side, did ask challenging questions, which do need to be answered honestly, sadly SoS spoke like a politician; more transformation to come
