Mr ABBOTT (Warringah—Prime Minister) (14:32): Our anticipation is that the offshore patrol vessels, or corvettes, will start building in 2018 in Adelaide. After 2020, when the frigates start building in Adelaide— Mr Champion: Are you going to sail them around the country? The SPEAKER: The member for Wakefield is warned. Mr ABBOTT: it is quite possible that the corvettes might be constructed somewhere else—very simple; very straightforward. Ms MacTiernan: But why not in Perth? The SPEAKER: The member for Perth! Mr ABBOTT: I want to say this to the member who asked the question. We have an outstanding shipbuilder in Austal, an outstanding Western Australian based shipbuilder—an absolutely outstanding shipbuilder which has not only built ships for the Australian Navy and which is not only currently building ships for the Australian Border Force; it is building ships for the US Navy. Any Australian shipbuilder that can successfully build ships for the US Navy is damned good indeed. Obviously, they will have a chance to bid for and be involved in the work in Adelaide and elsewhere—obviously. Ms MacTiernan interjecting— The SPEAKER: The member for Perth! Mr ABBOTT: That is why Austal welcomed our announcement. That is why BAE— Ms MacTiernan: Not Senator Reynolds, she's not happy with you! The SPEAKER: The member for Perth will cease interjecting! Mr ABBOTT: currently building ships in Williamstown, in Melbourne, welcomed our announcement. What all of them are so happy about is that, at last, there is a government in Canberra that is prepared to make decisions and is prepared to back Australia. We are prepared to back Australia and we will give Australia the naval resources that we need to keep our country safe in the future, unlike members opposite, who sat on their hands for six years, prejudicing the defence and security of this country. You cannot trust Labor with the nation's defences based on their record between 2007 and 2013. Ms MacTiernan interjecting— The SPEAKER: The member for Perth has been warned! Mr ABBOTT: Not a single naval order was placed with an Australian shipyard and hardly any naval orders were placed at all, but those that were all went overseas. Every single one of them went overseas, so I repeat: Austal, BAE, the Labor Premier of South Australia—every single person that takes the defence of Australia seriously welcomed our announcement of a $40 billion fleet build centred on Adelaide. The only people who have not welcomed it are those job-destroying people opposite. Shame on them! The SPEAKER: Before I call the member for Mallee, the member for Perth continued to interject after she had been warned twice. She can leave the chamber under 94(a).
