Quote from the Press Statement

Malcolm Turnbull: (...) I look forward to closer cooperation on defence and national security. Yesterday I visited your Defence Ministry. Dr von der Leyen received us there and I was accompanied by my Defence Minister, Marise Payne. We inspected at Rheinmetall, the Boxer Combat Reconnaissance Vehicle, and as you know, we are going to equip our Army with the Boxer Vehicles, to be assembled, to be built in Queensland under a $5 billion contract. As well, Lürssen is designing and is going to build in Australia, our Offshore Patrol Vessels, building in Adelaide and moving to Perth again, that’s a $4 billion contract. (..)
