Minister, earlier this year, I revealed the closely held secret that the Navy is planning to shift submarine full-cycle dockings to Western Australia. I don't assert that that is the government's position; it's the Navy's position. The government has said that no decision has been made on this. Noting that it has also been revealed that we will have the Future Submarines in both Western Australia and on the east coast, will the minister explicitly rule out shifting full-cycle dockings to Western Australia?
