Mr President, I ask a supplementary question. When he was Prime Minister, the honourable Tony Abbott repeatedly promised to build the first few offshore patrol vessels in South Australia. Yet Prime Minister Turnbull's defence white paper failed to deliver on Mr Abbott's promise. Minister, how many more jobs will go in South Australia as a result of your government's decision to walk away from Mr Abbott's promise to build the first few offshore patrol vessels in Adelaide?
