Senator WONG (South Australia—Minister for Foreign Affairs and Leader of the Government in the Senate) (14:45): In relation to the first point about the year's notice, I would again reference the fact that that assertion ignores the progress and architecture in place to deliver AUKUS, including a bipartisan support in the United States— The PRESIDENT: Minister Wong, please resume your seat. Senator Shoebridge: We've had a minute for the minister to answer the question I that asked— The PRESIDENT: The minister is being relevant. You referenced the agreement, and the minister is answering in relation to the agreement. Senator WONG: I was referencing the year's notice that formed part of both the first and the second question. I would note the bipartisan support in the US for the passage of important provisions of the National Defense Authorization Act in the US Congress by December 2024 to enable the transfer of the Virginia class and the transfer of skills and knowledge already underway. The Australian industry and the RAN, the Royal Australian Navy, are already engaged in how to build, operate and sustain nuclear powered submarines. Senator Shoebridge, I know this is not something you agree with, but this is a project which we do regard as important for Australia's national security. The PRESIDENT: Senator Shoebridge, second supplementary?
