What I can advise is that significantly more has been committed to Adelaide. But, as you would appreciate, there are some commercial sensitivities involved here, and we are not going to go into the precise detail of how much we are going to invest in every aspect of relevant infrastructure. But let me just tell you that, in relation to the Osborne park facility in particular—and this is a matter of public record—we will be investing over $500 million into upgrading the infrastructure at the Osborne shipyards, and that of course will set South Australia up to take advantage of all of the opportunities that come with a $90 billion naval shipbuilding program.
