asked the Minister for Finance and Deregulation, upon notice, on 26 November 2012:

For the period 2007 to 2012, what work orders or approvals have been given to the Australian Submarine Corporation by the Defence Materiel Organisation with respect to work on HMAS Collins, including approximate dates, work scope and value.

The answer to the honourable senator's question is as follows:

ASC advises that from 2007 to 2012, approximately 7,500 work orders were tasked to complete by DMO with an estimated value in the order of $81.9 million.

Providing details of each specific work order would place an excessive resource burden on ASC.
