Senator REYNOLDS (Western Australia—Minister for Defence) (14:04): Can I reiterate, to everybody here and everybody in Australia: every single cent we spend of the taxpayers' money, every single contract we enter into for our Naval Shipbuilding Plan—over $183 billion worth over the next few decades—and every single thing we do is about sovereign capability and about building sovereign defence capability in our nation. You do not have to wait for a piece of paper, Senator Wong, to see this government's commitment of 15,000 jobs and 70 vessels. That is our commitment. The PRESIDENT: Senator Wong, on a point of order? Senator Wong: The point of order is about this minister and this government's own commitment to release the update to the Naval Shipbuilding Plan. I'm asking why it hasn't been released by the time she said it would be. The PRESIDENT: Senator Birmingham, on the point of order? Senator Birmingham: Senator Wong has repeated part of her question but she has also used the opportunity to extrapolate. In any event, Senator Reynolds is clearly being directly relevant to issues that relate to the Naval Shipbuilding Plan. It is the entire nature of the content that she has had in her answer to date. The PRESIDENT: I'm listening carefully to the minister's answer but I tend to agree with Senator Birmingham that the minister's answer thus far, while it could be debated after question time as is appropriate, is being directly relevant. She has 26 seconds remaining to answer. Senator REYNOLDS: I don't know where the opposition have been hiding, but for the past 12 months we have been undertaking, the globe has been undertaking, a large, pandemic-induced economic crisis. The government are working to continue to deliver our Naval Shipbuilding Plan and we are.
