I note, Minister, that you are not willing to put a percentage on the amount of local content. However, the competitive evaluation process went for more than 12 months, and that process examined the Japanese, French and German proposals. That obviously would have required consideration of the implications of a hybrid overseas and local build. How is it that the government have done such a detailed analysis, but you will not commit to a minimum percentage of local build?
