What an absolute scandal, all of their own making

Dutton, Hastie, our 'lethal force' and 'violent force' frontliners in suits have singlehandedly destroyed the partnership that had businesses and personnel on all levels working towards the ramp up to production of our diesel subs had put massive resources, time and planning into already

I would rather do a deal with France that has much more alignment with our current manufacturing abilities and has a massive Australian footprint on the whole project ( as designated with the idea being to multiply knowledge gained from Collins ) with our customisations etc etc that is ours and we can leverage that 'exclusivity' .. France has naval history, the Australian / France military history is strong and we could have built this relationship into a formidable submarine / naval defence alliance that has two similarly sized and similarly oriented partners / powers

We should know better than throw too much of our 'defence' aquisition towards the USA.. this is a huge mistake IMHO

Dutton is a fool and Hastie is out of his league.. They are way too attached to their 'ideals' their ideals cloud their judgement when it comes to deal making.. Deals are about integrity, about delivery, about collaboration etc etc.. good luck extracting that out of US defence contractors

I would gladly fight along side my USA brothers but I would be very wary of doing deals with their defence contractors.. period

It's all down to Turnbull. Simples.

Everything he has touched has been a disaster.

"Passion fingers" Turnbull.
