Mr President, I ask a final supplementary question. Former Prime Minister Abbott and former defence minister Andrews repeatedly promised 500 new highly skilled jobs as a result of the future submarine build. They instructed that the submarines be delivered by the mid-2020s. Minister, seeing as your defence white paper clearly states the future submarines will not be delivered until the early 2030s, when will the 500 new jobs start?
