Senator JOHNSTON (Western Australia—Minister for Defence) (14:03): Sadly, I know it is disappointing, I have said that I regret the comments and I should not have made them. Senator Conroy: Apologise to Steven Marshall. Senator JOHNSTON: May I say, in accepting that interjection, Steven Marshall is a very fine man and should be the Premier of South Australia. Opposition senators interjecting— The PRESIDENT: Order! Pause the clock. Senator JOHNSTON: Steven Marshall is a very fine man who should be the Premier of South Australia. The point about all of this is that this is a vital program run by a vital government agency, a government business enterprise, ASC, that for six years was just left to founder by the person sitting at the leader's table on the opposition. The program that we inherited is a very vital program. (Time expired)
