My question is to the Minister representing the Minister for Defence. When it comes to defence, the Albanese Labor government has just promised Donald Trump another billion dollars for the US to build their own nuclear submarines, on top of the billion dollars Labor has already given them for that. Labor's building the US an $8 billion nuclear submarine base in Perth. Labor's building the US troops hundreds and hundreds of homes, and now Labor is planning to serve up Australia's critical minerals to US corporate and military interests. Minister, has your government ever said no to Donald Trump or the US? Are there any limits?
