[by video link] It's not in dispute that the government intends to conduct the life-of-type extension during the full-cycle dockings. It's a significant body of work involving the change-out of the submarine's main motor. It involves the change-out of the submarine's diesels and significant electrical switchboard work. Does the minister agree that shifting full-cycle dockings whilst at the same time embarking on a significant life-of-type extension will simply alter the risk profile too far for the shift to occur?
