Mr President, I ask a supplementary question. A Western Sydney bidder could build nuclear submarines using expertise from Lucas Heights in southern Sydney. They would not have the exhaust problems of diesel submarines or need to surface so often, and they could be painted in the wondrous colours of red and black. While the colour option will appeal to you as a New South Wales senator, would this nuclear option help a bid from Western Sydney?
