The government ship building yards in Australia are a disgrace and to give them more work is total stupidity
If the Germans were given the job and the old government yards to build them in, they could build our subs properly and in the process they would be building a viable ship building yard in Australia not to mention educating and training workers here to carry on to the next project
France has a new helicopter ship going cheap as a start
Australia already has a viable ship building yard in WA where they successfully build ships for the USA navy as well as others
This attitude of sticking with the government yard after all the mistakes, disasters, cost overruns, faulty subs ETC ETC there has to be a reason other than stupidity and political promises that should be given
With Abbott frantically spending 40 billion dollars rebuilding the navy for a war we know nothing about it would be sensible to get the ability to do so in place before he actually places the orders
