Mr President, I ask a further supplementary question. I refer the minister to the better-late-than-never intervention of his colleagues Senator Edwards, Senator Ruston and Senator Fawcett, who have joined Labor's call to hold a competitive tender process for Australia's future submarines. If the minister will not listen to the experts and will not listen to the industry, will he at least listen to his Liberal colleagues and commit to a competitive tender for our future submarines?
