      If this is just the shipyard in South Australia, the dry dock and maintenance facilities in WA will be that much again at least. $60 Billion before you even get one in the water.

      At least this is money being spent in Australia for Australian infrastructure instead of pushing $1 billion coins into the slot machine of American shipbuilding and hoping that a submarine pops out eventually.

      Doesn’t make AUKUS any less stupid though. A marginal change in capability at only four times (current estimate) price.

      Scott Morrison has left Australian defence policy totally at the whim of America. Say what you will about the French deal, we would have gotten subs from them long before America under any circumstances.

      Imagine how many houses we could build instead of this endless money pit.

      Something the liberals would do. ALP – Alternative Liberal Party.

      How terrible, the Australian government spending Australian money on Australian workers to construct Australian shipyards that will be used to build Australian submarines. How could they!
