I certainly see it as a need. If you look at the history of defence spending, even during the height of the Cold War, the late 1970s and 1980s, when the government by its orientation was towards a budget military side, they pushed spending up to pretty much two per cent, and it stayed there until the end of the Cold War.
I think that if the need is there, the public will certainly support the spending, and politicians are usually sensitive to both the need and the fact that they are going to get public support for it. I guess, in a defensive establishment, you could view it as an opportunity.
