Senator CONROY (Victoria—Deputy Leader of the Opposition in the Senate) (14:04): In 2014 Senator Johnston announced a tender for Navy's two new supply ships would be sent offshore because there was an urgent need to forestall a capability gap. But 20 months later today's defence white paper contains no decision on this urgently required capability. Minister, will you confirm there is no future work outlined in the white paper that would prevent the closure of the Williamstown and Newcastle dockyards?
