Madam Speaker, I seek to add to an answer as well.

There will be silence! The Prime Minister is seeking to add to an answer, and there will be silence in order that we may hear it.

In answering one of the numerous questions about submarines, I should not have used the term 'Holocaust'. I did withdraw it. I do apologise.

Mr Shorten interjecting—

What was that?

Bill Shorten (Maribyrnong, Australian Labor Party, Leader of the Opposition) Share this | Link to this | Hansard source

You shouldn't have said it.

Tony Abbott (Warringah, Liberal Party, Prime Minister) Share this | Link to this | Hansard source

And what else did you say?

There will be silence on both sides. When the Prime Minister has finished, the Leader of the Opposition may withdraw.

Madam Speaker, I should not have used it. I did withdraw it. I do apologise for it. But what I should also say in response to that is that, whatever happens with our future submarine contract, there will be more jobs for South Australia. That is the bottom line. There will be more subs and that means more jobs for South Australia.

Madam Speaker, I rise on a point of order. I think the Leader of the Opposition should withdraw the remark he made to the Prime Minister during that answer.

Mrs Bronwyn Bishop (Speaker) Share this | Link to this | Hansard source

I think that is in order.

Bill Shorten (Maribyrnong, Australian Labor Party, Leader of the Opposition) Share this | Link to this | Hansard source

I withdraw.

Thank you.
