Defence procurement bungles and wins

[Baggers]

Unfortunately I dont see China waiting 30 years to do what they want to do next ie Taiwan and building military infrastructure on the many pacific islands they will probably control. You also have to ask what we build will it still be relevant? and the question asked was where is the money coming from? I guess more taxes given Albanese has already broken an election promise and is fiddling with franking credits again and superannuation.

You can bet that with the signing of this pact that the Yanks will start subs patrolling our northern and eastern waters almost immediately... just not announced as that would be unwise. The whole package is a defense strategy... with plenty of time to change or add to our 'order.' Not difficult to imagine that a tri-nation sub base will likely be built on the east coast...
