Mr President, I ask a supplementary question. Given that the government's first decision in naval shipbuilding upon coming to government was to send the two supply vessels mandated offshore and with work on the offshore patrol vessels not due to start until 2018 and with the industry in crisis due to your early first decision, will your Prime Minister revisit this outrageous decision to exclude Australian companies from tendering for the Navy's new supply ships?
