Senator BRANDIS (Queensland—Deputy Leader of the Government in the Senate, Vice-President of the Executive Council, Minister for Arts and Attorney-General) (15:03): The truth is, Senator Carr, that the Australian shipbuilding industry had a near-death experience on your watch. For six years, not a single project was commenced. The only acquisition, as I said before, was the acquisition of a second-hand warship from the Royal Navy. Senator Kim Carr interjecting— The PRESIDENT: Senator Carr, you have asked your question. Senator BRANDIS: When the coalition came into office, we had to revive an industry that you had rendered moribund. We had to revive the Air Warfare Destroyer project, as we have done. We had to revive the Australian Future Submarine program, as we have done. We have saved the Australian shipbuilding industry from your neglect, your inattention, your inaction and your lack of interest. Mr President, I ask that further questions be placed on the Notice Paper.
