The West Australian government brokered a deal with its South Australian equivalent in which the regions will push for shipyards in the West district to win an upcoming $2 billion dollar contract for amphibious vessels from the Royal Australian Navy. In a quid pro quo, both districts will push for the South district to win an upcoming $6 billion contract to build three air warfare destroyers.
