My question is to the Minister for Defence representing the Minister for Defence Industry. What percentage of the Future Submarine build will take place in Australia and also what percentage of the value of this multibillion dollar contract will be spent in Australia—this being a key determinant of Australian industry participation and jobs? Further, what direction has the Minister for Defence Industry given to the Department of Defence to ensure the contract maximises Australian industry participation and jobs?
