My question is to the Minister representing the Prime Minister, Senator Abetz. I again refer to the government's decision to appoint an expert advisory panel to oversee your sham competitive evaluation process for submarines. I also refer to reports that industry representatives have wondered how this process can possibly be fair, with one CEO saying: 'It looks to me like the decision might already have been made. This whole process clearly favours Japan.' Minister, is he correct?
