I have a final supplementary question. I remind the minister of the government's commitment outlined by the Defence minister prior to the election: 'The coalition is committed to building 12 new submarines here in Adelaide.' Can the minister confirm that the Prime Minister's refusal to recommit to this election promise in his recent visit to Adelaide is simply confirmation that he is softening up South Australians for yet another Abbott broken promise?
