Future Submarines Program

157 Mr MALINAUSKAS (Croydon—Leader of the Opposition) (1 July 2020). Can the premier guarantee that the Future Submarines will be built in South Australia, by South Australians?

The Hon. S.S. MARSHALL (Dunstan—Premier): I have been advised:

South Australia is the national centre of naval shipbuilding and submarine sustainment, and the build location for Australia's Attack class submarines and Hunter class frigates.

The Australian Government's $90 billion commitment to build 23 new vessels in South Australia delivers unprecedented opportunities for the state and we are doing the work to train the next generation of workers to maximise these opportunities for South Australia and South Australians.

Naval Group Australia estimates 2800 jobs will be created as part of the Attack class submarine program.
