This motion seeks to challenge a public interest immunity claim in relation to the $35 billion future frigates contract. Documents received to date indicate that Australian firms are specifically excluded from being the prime contractors for that contract. Therefore, there is a compelling argument for this motion to be passed and to change the public interest immunity claim. I did my best, Mr President.
