We had the french subs about to be produced. But the defence force as usual wanted to keep making changes to the subs as if somehow Australia can only have unique subs.
Now we're buying generic, used nuclear subs from America? Maybe? What a shit show.

Then, lo and behold, we opt for USA ones? And later British ones? WTF? And we don't have a guarantee we will get them,
We need to regain our sovereignty from the USA military-wise. Stop buying their junk, buy only what's good.
More F-35s with eye-watering costs? Or Gripens? No, F-35s for us!! 🙄
Defence alliance yes, but reliance on a tank made in Germany that uses Swiss ammo is an axample of how not to do it.
It's what I admire about France. Their defence industry is total self-capable. They don't rely on anything from USA for eg.
Aussies have contributed to many of the weapons we now buy from others, time to stand on our own.
We have a defence industry, it's just mainly run by the USA or UK companies who at the whim of their kings could close them down overnight.
