News: Australia to manufacture Kongsberg cruise missiles, page-16

so you reckon we should pay someone to build a factory so we can buy weapons from them?

its double dipping and costing us at least twice of what it would do if we just bought them in the first place. im all for advancement and arming up but dont we have the expertise? or we could just build the thing ourselves and just get some cionsultants in.

why is it that whenever we want to build something we have to give untold billions away in tax breaks?

shit we used to build our own at one stage and they were bloody good.

the only reason norway wants a factory here is because they fear they might get nuked (imho)
