Not a single naval order was placed with an Australian shipyard and hardly any naval orders were placed at all, but those that were all went overseas. Every single one of them went overseas, so I repeat: Austal, BAE, the Labor Premier of South Australia—every single person that takes the defence of Australia seriously welcomed our announcement of a $40 billion fleet build centred on Adelaide. The only people who have not welcomed it are those job-destroying people opposite. Shame on them!
