    As a neutral country we dont need Nuke Subs whose only advantages are first
    & second strike Nuke platforms . And of course the Government's claims that
    the AUKUS subs wont be Nuke armed is all "bulloney", IMO

    $400 Billion invested now in downstream manufacturing is a much better
    and economically sustainable option, IMO.
    (Opps I forgot...the Yanks wont let us have SOEs !!)

    We had to divest/agree to divest of our SOEs as a condition
    of Keating floating the AUD . Has that commitment reached
    its use by date given the wedge that we have sleepwalked
    into since the GFC?
