we can double that figure in 10 years, China is building up its military because America is surrounding them and openly talk about war to retain primacy.

The waste issue is not really a big issue. Australia is the perfect country for storage of nuclear waste, and we probably should be doing so at an international level for profit. We are geologically stable and with huge amounts of empty land in which suitable storage sites can be built. The bigger question is the actual value of submarines, especially this style, in the roles typically carried out by the RAN.

Why do we still need to put people in submarines? Why don't we use under water drones? We have a rover on the surface of Mars, why do we still need personnel underwater?

Ex LIBERAL Scott Morrison thought this over one evening and committed/ condemned Australia to this doomed diplomatic disaster.

Worst of all, the antidote of the subs will be ready before the subs are ready.

If you are spending more on weapons than you are spending on education and health care you are already in dictatorship state of mind.

Australia just keeps begging for more in this abusive and one way relationship with the US.

Solution:- Ask Japan to build some submarines to help replace existing ones. Work with Japan to develop nuk subs, all the while working with the UK as well. Drop the USA sub deal! We won't get any from them. Form closer ties with China, they aren't a threat to Australia, USA is. The USA is building bases in Australia without consent!

If 🇦🇺 is any nuclear what are we signed up to AUKUS. We should be developing our own defence strategy and solutions. Diplomacy being one of them 😳

China is building 8 nuclear submarines at the same time. AUKUS is no way matching China speed. And US has no technology advantage any more.

knowing how government projects go, it will take twice as long and 3 times as expensive. 1 trillion on submarines for a war we don't want? sounds about right, one of the most clear examples of transferring our collective wealth to the top owning class. those military and fuel execs are absolutely loving how okay we are with our money going directly to em through military programs. different times in history, but the same story.

the AUKUS plan as a whole is really good, except for the one part where we could theoretically never see the US Virginia class subs arrive. but those subs were only intended to fill gaps until we start our production of the much better AUKUS class. we are currently setting uo the facilities to build our own nuclear powered subs in South Australia. the UK has started building their own AUKUS subs and we have engineers helping to build the Virginia class for training. all 3 countries paid for this and benefit from this, Australia benefits the most

and the USA is only required to give us the submarines once we've paid IF they can spare them

Anyhow, it sounds like a ponzi scam scheme on a grand scale. Worse thing is that you already know you wont get the subs and yet you have to pay for it
