As I indicated in answer to the question you asked earlier, the government is wholly committed to advancing the AUKUS arrangements, particularly in relation to the acquisition of submarine capability. As we have canvassed on many occasions in the estimates hearings, that includes an agreement that we have formed with the United States to uplift their industrial base. We don't step away from those agreements, and we don't step away from our commitment to AUKUS, because we believe it is in the nation's national interests.
