Western Australia's Henderson shipyard in Perth's south will house a multi-billion-dollar defence precinct with thousands of jobs in naval shipbuilding and servicing AUKUS nuclear-powered submarines. The Commonwealth has initially committed 127 million dollars, but premier Roger Cook says once the project is completed, it will rival the state's massive resources industry.
