My question is to the Minister representing the Prime Minister. I refer the minister to an interview given by Senator Edwards on Sky News yesterday when he again confirmed that the Prime Minister promised to hold a tender for Australia's new submarine fleet. Senator Edwards said:

Is Senator Edwards wrong?
