One of the main purposes of the Naval Shipbuilding College is to help retrain Holden workers from Elizabeth into naval shipbuilding. The Naval Shipbuilding College request for tender has been released. It is gaining a lot of interest from consortia around Australia, and I think it will play a very important part in training and retraining people for the naval shipbuilding industry. We expect to turn out 1,600 graduates a year. None of these things would have happened if the Labor Party had been in office—none of them. But all of them are happening because we are in office. I think I am now pressing on a friendship; is that right, Mr Deputy Speaker?
