My question is to Minister Payne. In an official press release on 20 February 2015 former defence minister Kevin Andrews said the future submarines would be delivered in the 2020s. Noting that departmental advice has not changed in the last three years, will the minister now confirm that the government's policy has changed and delivery is required in the early 2030s?
