Legislative Council Fifty-Fifth Parliament, First Session (55-1) 55 1 Parliament of South Australia Legislative Council published Question Time Collins Class Submarines Collins Class Submarines The Hon. J.M.A. LENSINK Legislative Council Collins Class Submarines The Hon. J.M.A. LENSINK (14:59): I seek leave to make a brief explanation before directing a question to the Attorney-General about Collins class submarines. Leave granted. The Hon. J.M.A. LENSINK Legislative Council The Hon. J.M.A. LENSINK: On 26 July, The Advertiser reported that the four-year sustainment contract for the Adelaide-built fleet of six Collins submarines confirms Osborne Naval Shipyard as the home of the lucrative full-cycle dockings, which take two years to complete. My question to the Attorney is: does the Attorney believe that industrial action taken by workers at ASC will have any impact on the $2.2 billion deal for the ASC to sustain the Collins class submarines? The Hon. K.J. MAHER Legislative Council Minister for Aboriginal Affairs Attorney-General Minister for Industrial Relations and Public Sector The Hon. K.J. MAHER (Minister for Aboriginal Affairs, Attorney-General, Minister for Industrial Relations and Public Sector) (14:59): I thank the honourable member for her question. My answer is I think it's unlikely. We do see some level of industrial discussion, disputation and action here in South Australia but, as I have said in this chamber before, we have had a relatively harmonious industrial relations field in South Australia for quite some time. Of course there will be disagreements and disputes that occur from time to time, but I'm not aware of anything that would suggest that any actions or any disputes that may be occurring at the moment will have any substantial effect on any defence project in South Australia. While I am on my feet, I might just clarify an answer I gave to the honourable Leader of the Opposition in relation to Incolink. I have been informed that John Setka, who was formerly the Victorian secretary of the CFMEU, and formerly a board member of Incolink, has stepped down from that role in Victoria.
