I have a further supplementary question. In the same report, ADA chief executive Matt Graham said that specialised equipment, including vests and backpacks, would be designed and distributed by his company but manufactured by a Vietnamese company, which ADA would hire as a subcontractor. Why did the minister's press release not communicate the full picture on this important contract and state that this contract would do little, if anything, for Australian manufacturing, Australian workers or Australian jobs?
