    this government and under Howard has a long and enviable record of defence disaster decisions, this French sub disaster quadruple the cost of buying off the shelf, now these yank ones will cost even more, $100 billion joint strike fighters that need to rendezvous with a fuel tanker on any os sortie. The sea sprite helicopter program refitting with fatigued chassis under Howard, the hunter class frigates at $4.5 billion each, just 8 Chinese torpedoes and we are finished!
