Nuclear?, page-34

ain't that the truth of it.

oh, while i'm here, just a little fact about the cost to the US Govt of its brand spanking new latest nuclear-powered Virginia-class submarine New Jersey.

i've seen figures reported by several sources in a range US$3.9 billion-US$4.2 billion.

yet here in Australia we're being quoted amounts up to A$368 billion for is it 7 or 8 vessels, some of which might be second hand. And none of which are likely to appear here before 2030.

successive Liberal/National and Labor govts need to be condemned for the profligate use of taxpayer funds for these white elephants to be used by the US hegemon to help maintain its imperial ambitions in a region of the world where not one of its states is located.

and in an attempt to limit the industrial and technological evolution and development of Australia's number #1 trading partner, China, a country that has never threatened Australia.
