@moorookamick; I share most of those sentiments, albeit I think warmongers are running amok with hateful and racist anti-China rhetoric to justify what I regard as outrageous $Waste of taxpayers' money on warmongering.
Australia not only stands to gain NOTHING from those submarines, we face the prospect of LOSING heaps: . Causing further damage to our relationship with our major trading partner - China, perhaps even pushing it further into Putin's World. . Enabling even more US businesses to replace Australian exporters into China. . Shelving investment in a more productive and expanded public education [including exports] sector. . Shelving investment in public health and crucial public services. . Shelving investment in upgrading the Coalition's third world NBN to a first world FTTH one. . Shelving investment in the transformation of Australia into a global exporter of renewables sourced energy. . Shelving investment in core infrastructure including very fast rail between state capitals.
And for what ... to protect the perceived vested interests of our wealthiest and most privileged 0.5% and those of multinational corporations which pay virtually $No $Tax in Australia on what they earn from Australia.
