And when it came to servicing the Armidale-class patrol boats, they sent that work offshore as well. Labor is now trying to pretend that they are interested in an Australian shipbuilding industry, but when they were in office they did precisely the opposite. What I have noted is that Labor has said more about ships and the defence force in its six months in opposition than it did in six years in government. During six years in government it did nothing for the Australian shipbuilding industry. Now it is in opposition it is making promises and commitments it knows it has no intention of keeping.
