Mr President, I ask a supplementary question. Before the election, on 8 May 2013, the now minister stood outside the shipbuilder ASC in Adelaide and, in relation to Australia's future submarines, this is what he had to say:

We will deliver those submarines from right here at ASC in South Australia.

He said:

The Coalition today is committed to building 12 new submarines here in Adelaide …

Minister, will you now repeat that commitment that you gave on 8 May 2013?
