Prime Minister Tony Abbott has moved to assure South Australians that there will be a "massive amount of work" done in Adelaide for the submarine project, despite the future of the industry in Australia remaining uncertain.
The Government is looking at its policy for replacing its ageing fleet of Collins Class submarines including using Japanese technology, which has created uncertainty over how much work will be carried out in Australia.
It had been anticipated Defence Minister David Johnston would reveal a significant downgrade in plans to build the 12 submarines in Adelaide.
However the Prime Minister used his visit to Adelaide to provide assurances that the Future Submarines project will involve local jobs.
"We have Collins Class boats that were built here in Adelaide," Mr Abbott said.
"They are good boats. It took us a long time to get them right but they are good boats.
Not that their are any obstacles or anything. The DMO I am sure will do their usual outstanding project management efforts.
