Senator REYNOLDS (Western Australia—Minister for Defence) (14:00): I thank Senator Wong for this question on the important issue for our nation's security. This government is absolutely committed to keeping Australia and Australians safe. As an island nation we rely on maritime trade for our security and our prosperity. That means Australia's naval capability is essential to our enduring national interest. The Morrison government is keeping Australia safe with our $183 billion Naval Shipbuilding Plan, which is the largest regeneration of the Navy since World War II. More than 70 vessels will be built right here in Australia using Australian workers, and this— The PRESIDENT: I have Senator Wong on a point of order. Senator Wong: Direct relevance—this relates to this minister's commitment, this government's commitment, to make a decision by the end of 2019. Workers have been waiting for two Christmases. I am asking about when a decision will be made as to the location of full-cycle docking. It's a very specific question. The PRESIDENT: I've allowed you to remind the minister of the specific nature of the question. I call Senator Reynolds to continue. Senator REYNOLDS: Like so many of these important issues, context is absolutely critical. It is absolutely critical, because this government is creating over 15,000 direct jobs in our naval shipbuilding industry. We will make all of these decisions, every single one of them, in relation to the build of more than 70 vessels—the sustainment and maintenance of our current fleet and our future fleet—in the order and at the time they need to be made, which is what this government has done continually. As has been said at estimates and publicly, even if we did make a decision to change, it is still five to six years away. In the meantime, what is this government doing? We have fixed that valley of death of jobs you created in South Australia. You commissioned not a single, not a single, Australian built vessel in our nation. You commissioned not a single one. You didn't progress a future submarine program. This government has done it. We are creating 15,000 jobs. There are not going to be fewer jobs in South Australia. There are already thousands more than when you left government. The PRESIDENT: Senator Wong, a supplementary question?
