Spider most of the stuff we have that is problematic, you can date back to K Beasley.
That's when we went off in a tangent to acquire stuff that was at best prototype. Collins class subs anyone. Once the military buyers where let off the lead, they got drunk on power and spending without accountability. It's not Scomo who selected the froggy subs, that was Mals call just to stick it up Abbott. We should have bought the Jap ones - at least they work. So as far as the worst military purchases in Australian history we're running at 1 x Labor and 1 x LNP.
