The Leader of the Opposition says that we can have submarines, as long as they have got nothing to do with Japan. That is because of what happened in World War II. Really and truly, what an extraordinary piece of xenophobia from the Leader of the Opposition. You know what the opposition's remarks demonstrate? You cannot trust the nation's defences in his hands, if that is his attitude to the future submarine fleet of our country.
