Re: Aukus
It was our previous PM Morrison who stuffed it all up. We where supposed to get our subs from France but the stipulation was that they where to have diesel engines. This made the dearer because they would have to take out the nuclear ones to replace them with diesel. So to make his election chances better Morrison canned the deal at great cost to then go with AUKUS. Now if he had stuck with the French it turns out that their nuclear subs are powered with low grade uranium where these other ones are powered with weapons grade uranium which is harder to dispose of when depleted. Just goes to show that politicians only think as far ahead as the next election. Another point that Paul Keating (ex PM) said is that the waters around Australia are to shallow for these subs to operate. Why the feck do we pander to all these idiots that are in charge. It seems that if there is to be another world war that it is to delay for at least a decade so that everyone can prepare the way that they are going about it. Lets face it in about a decades time all these will be obsolete anyway before they even get launched.
That's the way the mop flops.
