My question is to the Minister for Defence, Senator Reynolds. Workers at ASC in South Australia have been left to endure two Christmases without any certainty from this minister about the future of their jobs after she broke her promise that a decision on the future location of full-cycle docking work would be made at the end of 2019. Why does this minister continue to keep 700 South Australian naval shipbuilders in the dark, because of her broken promise? Will she now commit to making a decision this year?
