"A key adviser to the federal government was so concerned about the $80bn Future Submarine Project it warned Defence it should consider walking away from the French-built boats."

"The revelations follow the Defence Department’s admission to a Senate estimates hearing late last year that construction of the first boat had been pushed back by up to a year, and the cost to build and maintain all 12 submarines would reach $225bn over their 50-year lifespan."

This shameful Turnbull pork-barrel needs to be kicked to the curb.
