I'd like to commend the Morrison government on our recent announcement regarding the establishment of sovereign missile manufacturing capability in this country, which is vital for the national security of Australia. Of course, we need to have sovereign capability and to rely only on ourselves for not just missile manufacture but all the fundamentals that our ADF require. I commend the government on this decision. It's an exciting opportunity for my home city of Adelaide and for all those defence industry companies across the country that have been prospering so much because of the important national security decisions the Morrison government are making in the best interests of our country.
