To add insult to injury, this muppet is offering financial advice adds on TV along with Kosh from sunrise.
IMHO, forget the subs altogether. If if isn’t a nuke with the big crackers, ie Polaris or equivalent, you are just bringing a knife to a gun fight.
Australia’s coast is so large, even a nuke sub couldn’t react to a threat.
Air defence is our best and cheapest option. Australia developed the sona bouy a world leading sub detection system, coupled with MAD (magnetic anomoly detection).
Yes we need a Navy. We need top class surface vessels, that meet our requirements.
Just shifting gears. As for the F35 JSF. What an absolute waste of our hard earned, this A/C had over IK faults, it was a military version of the 737 MAX.

Collins class was an expensive dud and forever needing up grades. These french subs (apart from siphoning a big part of the defence budget) by the time they're delivered, will be the equivalent of the Leyland P76. Be more effective using harsh words or throwing bread rolls at the enemy.
