That’s the main job.īut it’s only part of a platform that defends Australia. It’s one of the primary jobs of government up there with cost of living, and what we’ll see is really – I understand about manufacturing jobs, but its main job is to protect Australia.

It’ll mean thousands of extra jobs and, of course, it lifts our ability as a nation that can make things. If we want to be an advanced manufacturing economy, these sorts of projects will really support that, so it’s great for the defence of the nation. It’s a very long‑term project and with it will come a substantial number of jobs and huge investment and a real capability in the Australian economy. These submarines will be very important in our ability to defend ourselves in the future. I think it’s very clear that both the government and the opposition agree that this is an important capability for Australia. Even though it is going to cost (an estimated) $200bn (BILLION) over three decades.
