US equipment ... reliable??? Is the new submarine going to be like the F35 which was initially bought as a front line attack aircraft. Then a "few" problems were discovered so now it is described as a strategic support aircraft.
Is it not curious how such a critical decision as a nuclear powered submarine is presented to the Australian public as a fait accompli. Oh where is this principle called "democratic input"?
Australia is being dragged into a conflict by our home grown warmongers - yet again.
