I believe that we should also scrap the purchase of the modified diesel-electric Short-Fin Barracuda. Why:

- This submarine hasn't been tested in an operational environment.

-This submarine can't circumnavigate our nation more than once without having to refuel.

- This submarine was never designed to be diesel-electric.

- This submarine is way overpriced. We could buy 2 British Astute Class submarines for the price of 1 diesel-electric Short-Fin Barracuda submarine.

Australia should have built a newer version of the Collins Class, if they didn't want to go nuclear.
