Senator CONROY (Victoria—Deputy Leader of the Opposition in the Senate) (14:13): My question is to the Minister representing the Prime Minister. I refer the minister to an interview given by Senator Edwards on Sky News yesterday when he again confirmed that the Prime Minister promised to hold a tender for Australia's new submarine fleet. Senator Edwards said: … when I asked, "Now, can I confirm that the ASC can compete in this tender?," he said, "Yes. You can." Is Senator Edwards wrong?
