Senator LAMBIE (Tasmania) (14:35): The AFP has previously stated 199 protective services officers will be required at HMAS Stirling. For perspective, in June 2025, the AFP had a total of 838 protective service officers, so AUKUS protection requires 24 per cent of the AFP's total protective service officers, even with a total workforce headcount increase of 101.

How many sworn officers have been pulled from other tasks to cover security obligations at HMAS Stirling and Osborne?
