Senator WONG (South Australia—Leader of the Opposition in the Senate) (14:00): My question is to the Minister for Defence, Senator Johnston. I refer the minister to an article written last year by former CDF and now Governor-General and Commander in Chief, Peter Cosgrove, entitled, 'Why our submarines need to be built in Australia'. I quote: To outsource this work would be to export hundreds of billions of dollars of work to supporting another country’s industry and jobs, rather than investing in our own. … … … This is short-sighted thinking. Minister, was General Cosgrove right?
