Thank you, Chair. We will deliver the policy we took to the election. Those opposite had no policy; they just had a bunch of hollow promises again. We will deliver in terms of making decisions to fill this capability gap within 18 months of the election. We will deliver on the promise that work will be centred around the South Australian shipyards. In doing so, we will deliver more jobs for South Australians in the future, at the best price for taxpayers that we can deliver, and we will deliver the capability requirements that our Navy needs. That is what good decision-making is about. That is what those opposite were incapable of doing.

Debate interrupted; progress reported.
