Given the claims that are being made regarding the building of the two offshore patrol vessels at Osborne and the claims being made that it will ensure the continuity of work until the commencement of the Hunter frigate projects, I'm wondering whether or not you can assure the Senate that Minister Pyne has actually been honest in his public pronouncements to workers at Osborne, or is this just another example that, when it comes to shipbuilding jobs, this minister and this government can't be trusted?
